Wednesday Vignette, Autumn and the Agaves

If you slogged through yesterday's lengthy Agave report you saw an earlier version of this vignette, here's what it's looking like now. I wish I could say I planned this one but it's just a happy accident.

    That combo by your front steps is my favorite! I'm about to plant a Yucca linearifolia right now, and one of the plants that I'm putting with it is Euphorbia rigida. I must have had this in the back of my mind as inspiration when I did it.

    The yellow foliage is Amsonia, right? I wonder if it would turn yellow in the fall here as well, not that I've ever found the plant for sale locally.

      Yes it's Amsonia...it's Zones are listed as 5-8, so you might be just a little too warm?

    Beautiful. I know I should know, but what are the purple leaves next to the Agave? It's a Euphorbia? Blackbird? Ok, I'll stop guessing....

    The feathery foliage lures your hand to touch... and the agave bites it!

    I have a gardening friend who got rid of most things yellow from his garden because it "was the most common color". He clearly hadn't seen this sort of display.

    Wonderful mix of colors and textures--how can that be accidental?

      Because it was just a matter of "now where can I squeeze this in???"
