The plants look so happy in that mild climate--the Senecio serpens looks great, mine struggles here in summer heat--which speaking of summer heat--yikes! Sorry to hear yours has arrived.

This one deserves a pin too. I was at the Huntington yesterday and came away thinking that I need to make better use of my own slopes by bringing in some large rocks to support succulent communities. Thanks for providing further inspiration in the same vein!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-25799174752751109282016-05-30T11:34:35.671-07:002016-05-30T11:34:35.671-07:00>> idea of living in the middle of such beau...>> idea of living in the middle of such beauty, how would I ever get anything done<<<br /><br />I bet people say that about Portland, too!!<br /><br />Gabriel Frank: Yes, I appreciate that too.
