Okay, we're back in Scott's Seattle garden and we've wandered out into the sun (Wednesday's post was all about the shady bits)...
The sunny areas are (as you might expect) on the south-side of Scott's property, and he lets none of that sun go to waste.
That beauty is Agave 'Silver Surfer' and has been in that spot for about 8 years.
Of course this gorgeous specimen is Agave ovatifolia.
On Wednesday I concentrated on the trunks of the Eriobotrya japonica (loquat) up near the house, but here's a pretty good shot of what the trees look like.
Walking west along the sunny border, echium... E. pininana I believe.
Pulled back view.
Grevillea x gaudichaudii
Seriously amazing in its cascading splendor.
In Wednesday's post I linked to the Etsy shop where Scott ordered the rusty pieces, but it's worth repeating here, cause they're so good! PAVAmetaldecor
Agave filifera and Penstemon 'Sour Grapes'
With rusty metal from PAVAmetaldecor...
I might need to track down that penstemon.
Agave schidigera
This combo gets me every time! Agave parryi ssp. huachucensis ‘Excelsior’ with a fabulously red sedum.
I think that's an Agave 'Baccarat'.
Cussonia paniculata (protected over the winter)
Another Agave ovatifolia, backed by Nolina nelsonii.
So good!
Pulling back and walking up to the driveway/alley now.
It's really hard to wrap my head around how many plants Scott has successfully squeezed into his small urban garden.
All of them perfectly sited to maximize their beauty.
At the home's back door I couldn't help but both be shocked by the color of the potted annuals and love the over-the-top abundance of the parthenocissus vine.
There is empty space to park, kinda shocking (it's not filled with plants awaiting their in-ground homes!).
Such a luxurious woodwardia...
A sunny sit spot! (which is shady later in the day)
Thank you Scott for allowing a Sunday afternoon visit and letting me wander your garden snapping photos!
