Succulent Garden

In an Octopus' Garden, from a bowl of succulents to a garden sculpted with large Aeonium Nobile and ice plants.

Hens and Chickens

Building an arrangement of hens and chickens in an old Chinese bowl, a wee tabletop garden.













































The above Sempervivum at a waterfront home in Naples, tiny neighborhood with canals and bridges between Belmont Shores and Marina Pacifica. Gondoliers give rides during the summer.

Sedum chick from the front garden where they grow large as watermelons. The clover was a surprise.

Front Garden in Vitro

Section of front yard converted from lawn to garden with curved sections of gravel, sedum, yellow and magenta ice plants with Spanish lavender bushes.
