My garden at the end of June, as photographed by a visitor

Yes I know, it's July now, however, these photos were taken on June 26th when Jeffrey Bale visited my garden. He was kind enough to share the photos he took during his visit, so I thought I'd turn them into a blog post. It's always interesting to see how someone else views my garden...

At the end of the sidewalk to the front door (above) is this iconic pair of Agave ovatifolia 'Frosty Blue'.

Succulents growing at the base of Holman's trunk include a few semponium (a cross between sempervivum and aeonium) from Little Prince.

The driveway containers with agaves, sarracenia, aeonium, basil, tomatoes...

The pathway to the patio...

To the right.

Carnivorous corner.

Behind the bench.

New growth on Rhododendron sinogrande.

Rhododendron sinogrande on the left, the sort of hazy shrub in the middle is Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Akebono'.

Woodwardia unigemmata

Rhododendron pachysanthum

Looking back towards were we were.

Staghorns hanging from the Albizia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate'.

The planting area just to the right of the steps down to the patio.

Looking back at the side of our garage.

Pyrrosia lingua planters on the side of the garage.

The shade pavilion and patio.

Containers on the patio.

And a look up at the fence and the area under the shade pavilion. Thanks for visiting and taking photos Jeffrey!

The Bit at the End

Today I'm sharing an agave propagation update post from Plant Delights; An update on our Liberty. The original post was up last September, and includes a photo of their gorgeous Agave utahensis ssp. utahensis var. nevadensis ‘Liberty’ that they chopped in an attempt to make more.
