I recently added a small bottle tree to my own garden and have the same type of blue bottles. The Dasylirion longissimum planted in the tall steel pipe planter is genius.

I only wish I hadn't limited myself to my small point-and-shoot camera on this trip. Thanks for the clarification on the last seating area. I had in mind that it was near the one sitting on the blue rug but, when I saw the steps in the background, they had me questioning my recollection.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-11211758485423301112018-05-23T17:40:30.160-07:002018-05-23T17:40:30.160-07:00Pam has a great eye!Pam has a great eye!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-78110331807572923912018-05-23T16:29:03.509-07:002018-05-23T16:29:03.509-07:00Your view of Pam's non-vegetative elements sho...Your view of Pam's non-vegetative elements shows how they can really enhance a garden.

Thank you for sharing your impressions! I really enjoyed having you and the other bloggers visit my garden. Seeing everyone strolling the paths and relaxing in chairs and on seat walls was a true joy. BTW, the sage green glider you weren't sure about is on the same patio as the octopus planters.
