Can't wiat to see more photos as all the containers start maturing. Really excited about seeing how the Aptenia does, wheather or not it will cascade from the bowl, and if it will be winter hardy for you.
Do you have a new photo of the gold bowl on the patio? The one with the new Euphorbia 'Fire Stick' (Euphorbia tirucalli 'Rosea')?

Will have some new pictures today. We finished rocking in the hill, put a water line in to the wisteria pot, setup a water line for the tower and the coleus plants on the patio. Everything seems to be adapting well. Also got superthrive onto all the new stuff that was still looking stressed. Looked up euphorbia to put in the semp/sedum bed. Came up with "Tasmanian Tiger" and "Ascot Rainbow". Need input and a good place to order from since we didn't find any locally Confused

Your mom will know where to order from Denice! Sounds like you're maintaining that same level of "getting things done" that you had while your mom was there...very good on you! nodding Thumbs up

Wow, Denice you have really been busy in the few days since I left. Can't wait to see the updated photos.
Let me see if I can find one locally to send you. That way you can get a larger plant to start off with. Be sure to give it a good source of water.

My Tasmanian Tiger is in bloom right now. I think this would be the one for that spot, because of the white and green foliage it would really stand out in that back corner. What do you think?

just looked at the pictures for both in the plant database. The tasmanian tiger would stand out more in that shaded area. Yea, decision made...just need to get one now.

Thanks guys!~ Lynn add mind reading to your many talents haha! Denice, the cool thing about these larger euphorbias is that they will totally fill in the space! It sometimes takes them a few years to get started but once they do, its a great space taker!! Thumbs up
