Gardens by Gabriel Thanks for the compliments! In the foreground orange flowers are Mimulus, and Heliathemum (sunroses). The sweeping hair-like grass is Carex testacea. The red in the backround are Anigozanthus (kangaroo paw) and the purple pom-poms are verbena lilacina a native of the channel island. It was a fun tapestry to weave, and this was definitely a peak moment :)

isamenton Awesome Gabriel! Was I correct guessing that the pink flowers were Gaura ? Is it Pennisetum on the left of the purple pompoms ? So beautiful!

Gardens by Gabriel Nice work, I forgot to mention it, you got those right as well! Pennisetum setaceum is a favorite of mine.

greengirl I love these gardens. They've given me such inspiration. We just installed our front landscape. Still have a bit to do. On the gulf coast of FL, they have limited resources for 'different' plants. We have gotten many positive remarks so far on what we're doing. Very xeric. Will post when done. Thanks again.

Ann Atkinson Your design artistry is inspiring! Thanks for sharing such beautiful images. What is the first plant front left - large, toothed foliage?

Gardens by Gabriel Sonchus canariensis!
