Close ups really show it off.

You really have done a beautiful job with the layout.

I will be curious to see how your variegated Yucca does over winter,
they are said to be hardy to zone 5,mine is pampered a little because it happens to be
placed in the protection of the cactus garden.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Very cool! 8) I love the contrasting textures, levels and colors in both the plants and the rocks. It's really awesome to see beautiful plants displayed in creative ways. Thanks for sharing your pictures!
