Even the succulent garden looks extravagantly lush. In light of the extreme drought we're having, I felt very uncomfortable in a garden that is so out of place with reality. But then, gardens are a fantasy, an escape from reality. <br /><br />Still, this one was a tough one for me to like.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-55930718881511925692014-06-10T08:25:57.766-07:002014-06-10T08:25:57.766-07:00Bright masses of floral madness and heuchera/coleu...Bright masses of floral madness and heuchera/coleus overload aside there are elements of this garden I like. The hardscape, the very "greenness" of some of your shots. Heck the banana and the redwoods even work for me (I'd have the same combo in my garden). I don't even hate the turf on the lounge chairs, although I do hate that they felt the need to rope them off. Ruins the look of something that should be fun.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-49002525041999697902014-06-10T07:19:02.997-07:002014-06-10T07:19:02.997-07:00I've been giving my potted plants extra water....I've been giving my potted plants extra water.

It should not be 92 deg F before 9am, even in the desert! Hope your garden is making it through OK.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441140267067281722noreply@blogger.com
