Payin the bills. What fun!

This is a garden i work at. A good day clipping and planting. Wonderful gardening weather too. I am such a fan of Watsonias. This is all true.



I believe that's a Sedum 'Pork 'n Beans'. The below picture is the tiny patch of this in my garden that I hope will start filling out properly this summer. I know it's kind of a crappy little spot but i feel that I'm lucky I even got those little scraps in the ground before they perished. They sure can look great though huh? The pink and purples are Ixia. The purples are just the fading flowers. There just doesn't seem to be much intermediate between the two colors. Wacky.

  3. Everything looks so lovely - and I like the watsonia, too. What is the big, bright green plant to the left of the pork n beans in your garden? I've seen a lot of it lately and it is so pretty.

  4. That is Lime Thyme. I think it's my favorite. It's one of the larger mounding ones getting 4"-6" tall.

  5. Oh, I love it. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for it, but it seems unusual. Did you get a cutting or did you purchase at a nursery? I may be up in that area soon...wanna blog about your favorite nurseries?
