Some new friends came to live in our garden today : )

We went out looking for hardy ground cover but along the way a hosta nursery lured us in too ... always room for friends : )

The nursery where we bought our succulents has a display of huge, old plants (I know I saw one price tag close to $2000 !)

This is just a small selection of the giants that are housed in the greenhouse.

And these shots from our garden are of a few plants in the evening light ... the rocamboles are putting on quite a display.
