I am jealous! Normally it's not my style but I must admit that dry gravel mound with agaves, euphorbias and rusty poles is amazing, it really inspired me to have one n my garden!<br />I agree with you about euphorbia griffithii, at least your managed to survive, mine just disappear after a couple of season. And I am so in love with euphorbias... I wish they love me back a little bit too.Albertohttp://altroverde.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-38379922334404464612012-04-26T16:57:47.017-07:002012-04-26T16:57:47.017-07:00Oh yes...if you ever get to Portland, do stop by.....Oh yes...if you ever get to Portland, do stop by...you won't be disappointed!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-59963601637043958392012-04-26T16:57:13.200-07:002012-04-26T16:57:13.200-07:00Woohoo...that's awesome!

That euphorb griff is definitely not a menace here -- never had one survive a season. And the color on that emerging Red Dragon is incredible - never does that here!

But I also enjoy that you too appreciate Bouteloua...here, it is seeded to try being a lawn, when grown as it is in nature here - a widely-spaced bunchgrass - it is stunning.
