What were they thinking? (#17)

I love a simple, repetitive, plant palette - especially in a municipal planting (which I believe this is - in Albany, California). This particular combination, with dark aeoniums peeking out of orange libertia, is all kinds of fabulous in my book.

Repeat it a few times in a row and you’ve really got something going on.

Well, unless you back it with phormiums that look like they’ve been whacked by a 3 year old who just discovered scissors.

For crying out loud people what were you thinking?

I want to appreciate those curvy aeoniums but instead my eye is pulled back to the horror of the flax.
