I saw your title and before I could read the post I had to run out and check on it. Turns out it's fine, thank you for the reminder. <br /><br />I love the look of this project and your plant list...I hope you'll include more pictures as the plantings mature. I love how often you do that!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-80298239444909439912010-12-01T14:55:40.853-08:002010-12-01T14:55:40.853-08:00Desert D,

It likes more water than I expected. Yucca linearifolia is visually a nearly perfect miniature version. <br /><br />Lovely design with the retaining walls. Native stone?
