It depends on how much light you want. At that size one or two U-shaped T8 fluorescents might do nicely and would be pretty bright (light up the room). If all you want is a glow, then LED rope lights might be worth considering. Or how about a string of commercial quality Christmas lights? Much less efficient than the LEDs or fluorescents, though. Something like this would be very interesting. It'd be pricey though; a 32" by 46" panel is $1,219! I'd avoid high wattage incandescent lights anywhere near paper.

You sure can capture nature's beauty. Wonderful pictures.

Jolana, the dwarf Barbados cherry pictured is planted in soil that had been improved for roses along the drive way and is about 5 ft by 5 ft. Others in more rocky soil are about 3 x 3, healthy with fruit and flowers, and dark green leaves and no chlorosis -- which is most remarkable in my alkaline soil and water. Glad you found the tree form you've been wanting ... :-) Molly, I've recently planted two Canyon Creek abelias also after falling in love with the one Plantmaven Kathy had! They are growing fast, but haven't bloomed yet.

Cameron, interesting bees! Hard to tell what kind they are. Bug Guide is a good place to find bug IDs if you want to go to the trouble. You can do a search for 'striped bee', 'black shiny bee' or whatever. Alfie doesn't mind telling his age... :-) He's a little over a year old. For me his 'birthday' will always be Mother's Day since he was found hiding on my front porch on that day a year ago. Omar, everything is looking wonderful! Love how those pavers define the flower beds. Very neat! Your oregano cleaned up real nice (seems you have a knack for that :-) if that's the same one you posted before that wasn't working. The little one you sent me is happy since I moved it to less sun and is also blooming. The 'Fireman's cap' (I think) in your first photo is gorgeous. Dang, I bought one years ago, couldn't find a place to plant it, so planted in my neighbor's yard. I can see it blooming over there. Oh well ... Oh, and "have I told you lately that I love ..." having flowers to cut and take to friends when the occasion arises, like today?
