Succulent Tapestry With Blue Glass
This spectacular succulent tapestry previously blogged had been slightly reworked since my last visit. Small slices of slate and other stones have been set on edge into arcs, with Echeverias and other succulents set into patterns made by the stones. This replaced the pinwheels of echeverias at the edge of the bed. Less plants, more stone edging. We know the maintenance required to keep elaborate patterns of flowering annuals looking good, but maintenance is also required to keep elaborate displays of succulents at a spectacular level.

Fantastic work !!!
ReplyDeleteNice job! And so much more rewarding than flowering annuals! Love the var. A. attenuata...mine is down to just the center "cone" after a long tough winter. Hopefully it will spread it's leaves rapidly or else it just might go bye-bye!
ReplyDeleteI'm whining now, but I never see that variegated A. attentuata for sale. Truly, there is no end to clever things that can be done with succulents.
ReplyDeleteUniquely lovely.

Thanks Danger. Hopefully some warm weather can revive your attenuata! Such an elegant Agave.
