My xeric garden

[angie]

My sad Yucca has never flowered and its full of black splotches.
If only I could turn back the clock by fifty three years I could have been born in Germany and would be able to grow all these amazing plants.
You have a great garden full of exciting things, had a peek at all your troughs .

Thanks maybe one day. I still have family in germany and have been promising myself that I would go and see them and also see where my mum was born.

Beautiful garden. Just like everyone else, I am envious!
The imprinted pattern on the agave leaves reminds me of the aztec/inca snake designs. I have often wondered if that is where they got the inspiration from.
Thanks for the great photos.
Cheers.

You know Chris, I've been thinking about this for a while, seeing the photos from your garden.... and I'm guessing, with all the agaves and such  spiky plants,  that you don't have any small children or a dog or a cat .......

hi maggi, my children are 12 and14 years old, no problem...no dog and no cats....
cheers

children should be able to learn fast enough to avoid serious injury dogs and cats i think would avoid the spines easily enough-i've seen cats pick their way among potted cacti..
