A sunny day with clear skies; perfect weather for a garden walk. This year we headed to the Detroit-Shoreway that claims to be one of the coolest and most diverse neighborhoods in Cleveland, OH.
Grace Avenue had three homes on the tour, and as many bonus homes because the neighbors help each other, and share those Canna x generalis/Burgundy-leaf Cannas!
