A Tour Around the Garden

Desertification, Part 2

Building a desert in Seattle makes about as much sense as barricading a national memorial, but two mild winters in a row have taken their toll my plant hardiness reasonability.  Of course I have been buying way too many plants recently to fill this new desert area so it's definitely time for a freeze on my plant budget.  Now that I qualify for agave connoisseur status, I'll be fine with that for a while.

For documentary purposes, here are few close-ups of the plants I didn't cover in Part 1:

Sedum tetractinum 'Coral reef'

Opuntia fragilis var. denudata

Crassula ovata 'Ripple Jade' (This one will be going inside for the winter)

Morina longifolia

Colletia armata

Yucca rostrata

Yucca bacatta with Opuntia microdasys 'Albispina' on the left
