Re: suggestions please

I was also thinking about your predicament-what was throwing me off was
the deciduous "ash" which is not a particularly mediterranean tree....
I couldn't envision it with succulents, for instance.

Aside from the flower suggestions, if you might consider a grouping of
hardy little shrubs.  For instance, I saw the following combination the
other day in a landscaped area and it did have a "woodsy" appearance:
myrtle, juniper, lavender, euonymus, iris germanica, ebenus creticus,
hebe and clumps of white and blue daisies.  The plants were kept low, in
mounds.  To that I could add arbutus, cotoneaster, santolina, cistus,
box, variegated holly, cyclamen, star of Bethlehem, crocus, Sternburgia,
and asparagus fern as those could be found in the dry wooded areas in
nature.

Good luck, Karen in Athens, Greece
