Agaves in the Hood, the much anticipated new feature by acclaimed Portland maven Loree Bohl :-).
ReplyDeleteThat blue evergreen planted next to the berberis(?) is a great combination/backdrop for the blue agave/pink muhly grass. You're lucky to have this garden so close to your house!
ReplyDeleteAnd the blue tones of the agave pick up that of the blue shrub (cypress?) too.
ReplyDeleteFun for you having that garden so close by. Love that blue conifer. Reading in the news Portland is having some terrible weather--too much rain, homes flooded. Hope it dries out for your Fair City soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty wet here, lots of rivers/creeks exceeding their boundaries and flooding, landslides, trees down. I think we've got a couple more days of it too, before it finally stops.
DeleteOooo, yes! Great vignette. I always enjoy the smoky Muhly Grass. It's not hardy in my zone, but Purple Love Grass is. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue with the Pink muhle grass! What is that other bluish thing - front and center, slightly to the left, in front of the agaves?
ReplyDeleteIt is either some sort of Erysimum, or a Matthiola fruticulosa. I'm not smart enough to know which!
DeleteSounds like your December rains are going to be our Bay Area January situation if the El Niño forecast models come to pass. I'd be worried about how many plants are going to want to rot out, while others will no doubt love it. Wishing you some sunny respites between the deluges.
ReplyDeleteI love that planting! I need to explore this garden. So far, I've only driven by after visiting you.
