Have a look at this beauty! We’ve just finished this new border this afternoon. I moved almost all the agaves and cactii from the cluster by the pool into this new brilliant arrangement, even if I say so myself 
I’m looking forward for them to mature in place and hope all visitors to our neighborhood enjoy my xeriscaped garden border.
It’s flourishing this year, thanks for my wife’s choice of filling it to the brim with red chrysanthemums
And here’s a close-up of those gorgeous mums:

Since the weather turned to the better about a week ago, I’ve put more effort into two things:
I just realized that I didn’t introduce Hope on the blog! Sorry. Well, meet Hope, the newest addition and the very much long awaited addition to the garden. Here she is sitting at her pond and being quite happy and content.
I had my eye on her for months, but unfortunately the seller and I couldn’t agree on a price. Now that they’re going out of business, they have met my stipulated price and I brought her over about 3 weeks or so ago, and yesterday afternoon was an opportune moment for to me clean up around her and spruce up her throne a bit. Now with the cable and various pipes hidden, I’m quite happy too.
