Re: Finding the right garden idiom

Hello Ron,
I so enjoyed the walk through your garden/yard (via Yardshare)! It's truly exciting in some places and quietly beautiful in others. How I would like to see it in reality! I like many of the same plants and admire their placement in your garden: filmy & open against dramatic and spiky, line against mass. You have an artist's eye. Thanks for sharing & I'd love to see any other pictures you'd care to pass along.
My garden In Upland is so small I cannot grow those magnificent cacti, agaves, aloes & euphorbias, but search out the smaller ones which I plant against things like lavender, salvias, grasses, ballotta & the border euphorbias. Alas, the effect is not the same! However you've given me courage to use more of the rocks I continually dig up. Mine are round because I live on the old flood channel out of Mt. Baldy.
