The Xeric Bed..more colour!

The idea was to grow mainly succulents and spikies of various hues of green with the odd splash of colour. 

But when it comes to delosperma, Lampranthus and Californian Poppies they just do their thing and its a pleasure to watch them grow provided that don't invade .

Anyway, its was always the idea that Angie and myself would have somewhere to sit on a sunny day/warm night that felt like perhaps somewhere else.   Of course there is always improvements we could do, but were getting there.




They really zing in the sunshine



The copper Delosperma



Our Agave Ovatifolia is looking happier 



This Aloe Striatula is thriving in the bed, at the expense of blocking out a large Agave Montana behind it. So next year it will have to be moved, but meanwhile we'll enjoy the flowers.
