Wednesday Vignette: Maude planted up, finally!

Remember when I visited apotspot? Well Claire generously shared one of her containers with me, a Maude. I've almost planted several things in it, but never felt that I hit on one that was "just right" until now...

This vignette is currently atop my patio table...planted in the Maude is an Agave victoriae-reginae 'Golden Princess', Aeonium 'Kiwi', Aeonium 'Some fabulous green one that I didn't get the name of' and Acaena inermis ‘Purpurea...

Four plants is definitely a little much for this small pot (and way out of my "one plant per pot" comfort zone) but they'll only be there for a couple of months. I'll pop the Acaena inermis ‘Purpurea’ in the ground before winter and probably leave the Agave in the pot alone after that.

With this table-top vignette I'm joining up with Anna over at Flutter & Hum, who hosts our Wednesday Vignettes every week...check out what Anna's sharing and links to other blogger's WVs.

    I love what you did. That Maude pot is perfection! I wish I had a handful of those maybe a little larger.

    It's gestalt! The combination makes each plant more special by virtue of association.

    The Acaena inermis ‘Purpurea' makes the Agave victoriae-reginae 'Golden Princess' visually explode from the pot... love it!

      Thank you for putting words to what I was (subconsciously) trying to do.

    I love the contrast of the pot with the agave. And the Acaena inermis ‘Purpurea' just makes the combination perfect!

    Looks so great all together. That spherical cactus in the round pot is super classy!

      I still love that combination as much as I did last year when I put it together.

    It looks fantastic! And I love the Maude - need to check out that apotspot place. The three pots together make a fine vignette too. :)

      It felt very "vignettey" - glad you approve.

    Well done, like everything you do! (Or at least the stuff you post about.) Perfect combination and the purple against the concrete is gorgeous!

    Love that acaena but it doesn't love back. Yes, that Maude pot has got legs! ;)
