First of all the container itself is interesting, I like the organic shape. I think the planting is the most fascinating one, because of the contrast between the spiky Dyckia 'Burgundy Ice' and the light fresh green aeonium. I also like that other plants pick up the burgundy color of the Dyckia. I think it is a pretty cool design! <br />Succulents are not my favorite plants, but forced by the heat that we are having in summers, I am thinking to plant a container with them, too. You might have inspired me...<br />Good luck in participating in the challenge!<br />Warm regards, <br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-72150758906847479172016-07-02T22:03:58.265-07:002016-07-02T22:03:58.265-07:00Those aeonium match that vase perfectly!
