"Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of traveling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell "The Essential Earthman" I work as the Floriculture Director for Landscape Services, Inc. My job includes designing and planting semi-annually hundreds of annual beds containers and garden beds for commercial development, neighborhoods, and residents requesting our horticulture services. I love my job and the opportunity to bring beauty to our local communities. Most of all, I love introducing new plant material to the average gardener, and to helping them find success in their own gardens.

Dragon's blut (I mean blood), isn't it? Love it with lime green.
Hi Debra, thanks for stopping by the blog! This is similar to Dragon's Blood but is Bronze Carpet from Monrovia. Starts off green but turns this bronzy red with cold weather. Tends to stay a thicker carpet than dragon's blood. Check it out on the Monrovia site!
Yet another beeootiful container!
I put a sedum in a container to provide the 'spilling' for the first time this year. I've moved it into the garden for the winter and hope it will survive to be usable, somewhere, in the spring. Very clever post.
Hi Debra, really like the combo here. And the choice of container is perfect for the plants spreading habit.
I have several Dragons Blood scattered about and may try the Bronze Carpet. Thanks for the idea.
