I certainly understand how you would enjoy the view from the balcony. I bet your mind goes into overdrive on how to change things up a bit, too. All your plants look so healthy, good for you both! I can't remember the last time I grew statice. I think I will order seeds this fall for next year. My butterflies will love it.
I know right, seems like an old fashioned plant, but it fits quite well amongst the lavender and the butterflies love it!
