Chris,

An amazingly different garden, something which would be impossible here as we have weather which is so much wetter. Great to see your very interesting garden, great plants.

I like the little tortoise/turtle!

Wow wish you were just around the corner from me - I would love to see the garden 8). All your plants look so healthy and exciting.
I have no chance of growing any of those in my garden one thing the cats wouldn't be able to did them up ;D.

Christian the design of your garden is really unusual and full of interesting sculptural shapes of all sorts with amusing surprises - the agave is magnificent and the Pinus pinea is so handsome

I love on the Agave where the leaves are imprinted with the outlines of the spines of the leaves which were wrapped around them.
