It will be interesting to see what you add in that spot to compliment Holman. Maybe another Manzanita? Eucalyptus? Glad to see your agaves recovering from the wet spring. I have noticed that my adiantum has dead spots too. Seems like it happens after those 100 deg. days, with intense sun hitting a spot or two? And yes, my adiantum is no shrinking violet either. It WILL take over the world!

Usually we only see the warts not all the beauty that's been created. Bet the Florida comment was based on mistaking the yucca for a palm and the Fatsia does look tropical with it's big leaves.Elainehttps://www.luv2garden.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-11799935555498807462022-10-11T17:33:20.819-07:002022-10-11T17:33:20.819-07:00It probably reminds them of Florida because it loo...It probably reminds them of Florida because it looks the same all year-though yours is about a million times more interesting than any garden I've seen in my numerous trips to that state ! This post will prompt me to go back and revisit my photos from the first visit I made to your garden. And Artemisia 'Seafoam' ? I had to remove it when I had my old dry-rotted pergola demolished and it is now impossible to find. Looking forward to the next chapter !kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-10139177777213915522022-10-11T17:29:07.942-07:002022-10-11T17:29:07.942-07:00You're so right - a garden is much more than t...You're so right - a garden is much more than the individual plants within it - your selections seem to sing together. You were clever to intentionally create the front garden to be relatively static, low maintenance and low water. Such a great juxtaposition with the higher maintenance parts of the back garden - I still can't get my head around totally disassembling a display and bringing it inside for the winter!Horticathttps://plantaholicoz.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-54099148843346683232022-10-11T09:50:47.251-07:002022-10-11T09:50:47.251-07:00Thank you for reading and commenting!

We live in Temecula, CA. Our front garden also requires very little irrigation. We have lived here for 27 years. I like your description of the plants having relationships with each other. I never thought of it that way, but yes, I would say my front garden plants know each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-43073847195303286292022-10-10T18:18:13.491-07:002022-10-10T18:18:13.491-07:00I read this post once and will read it a second ti...I read this post once and will read it a second time to assimilate it all.

I think I "need" to try Yucca 'Color Guard' - I bet it wouldn't get the summer sunburns that my lighter-colored Phormiums do. I like your Dasylirion wheeleri better than my D. longissima too. It'll probably sound odd to you but I'd no idea that a Fatsia japonica could grow into a small tree - maybe I'll plant my 'Camouflage' plant out after all.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
