I have that purplish sedum and can't remember the name now of course. All these plants are curiosity jewels in this garden and it certainly seems more established than 2 years. All that TLC must have made the difference.

Slippery when wet and with rings and patterns of use from the pots I placed each summer. The garden feels fresh and new. We won't do it every year but we also won't wait 14 years to do it again...danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-48187519898514443642021-05-29T09:18:48.985-07:002021-05-29T09:18:48.985-07:00Glad you enjoyed!Glad you enjoyed!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-27666882159647923182021-05-29T09:18:35.785-07:002021-05-29T09:18:35.785-07:00I fell like I could go back again and again and di...I fell like I could go back again and again and discover more.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-70614331440447201612021-05-29T09:18:17.776-07:002021-05-29T09:18:17.776-07:00Right!?Right!?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-75707719780946558172021-05-29T09:18:08.387-07:002021-05-29T09:18:08.387-07:00Yes indeed he does, Wes is a talented cramscaper.Yes indeed he does, Wes is a talented cramscaper.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-69120655897542608592021-05-29T09:17:51.381-07:002021-05-29T09:17:51.381-07:00Ha!

It has such a narrow habit and I’ve never seen a narrow maple in that color before. I have the narrow Twombley’s Sentinel, which is red in spring. <br />Wes doesn’t pressure wash his concrete tile- I wonder if that’s part of his color scheme too. I really like the rich looking pavers, no joke!
