Re: New garden pics

Oh- Bonnie- they are really succulents/cacti, not orchids.  I also have 
a unique talent for killing orchids- but these cactus are easy!
P.S.  The coreopsis is Coreopsis tinctoria 'Tiger Stripes' 
<http://www.anniesannuals.com/plants/plant_display.asp?prodid=285&account=none> 
from Annie's Annuals.  I got it either at the SF Flower show or from the 
CalHort sale (can't remember which one now).  I just love it.  Annie's 
has a selection of coreopsis that I'd never seen before- see their 
website for more pics:
