Here is the slope back in 2006, when I was just beginning my effort to turn it into a succulent paradise. The sole plant that remains from that time is the violet Bougainvillea, still in that same spot. The Lophostemnon confertus belongs to the neighbor--they planted it right on the property line. Unfortunately it's still there, too. Back then, the Dasylirion was in a two gallon pot and I was wondering what to do with it, and thinking it might be happy on that slope.
The Baccharis is long gone; the Bougainvillea looks healthier.
The Dasylirion seems reasonably happy.

That's stunning, very happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks David!
DeleteStunning transformation Hoov!
ReplyDeleteThanks outlaw, it's getting there...
DeleteThe dasylirion looks awesome! It's fairly slow-growing even in the ground, isn't it? I have one in a pot and it doesn't seem to be growing at all even though it looks healthy and happy.
ReplyDeleteIt seems pretty fast to me--it is at least six feet wide now. That's a horribly dry spot, so it's doing that growth on winter rain only. Or am I patient?
DeleteYou're right, six feet in six years or so isn't bad. I wish I had a spot in the ground for mine.
DeleteThat is a stunning combination! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phillip!
DeleteSuch a beautiful transformation to the slope, it looks amazing.
