Bev, That would be so great!! What a nice spot. You too have to keep a "work in progress" diary for us. You artist types do such wonderful things with your plantings.
Marilyn!...I know what you mean by that "envy" that we get with all the showy tenders, but since I used to live in NM and you live in Colorado, I think in our mind's eye "luscious" and "green" mean different things to us. Here in CA I think of apple green and pine green whereas when I was in Santa Fe it was sage green and cactus green. So what I mean to say is that we can have our own kind of "showy", don't you think???
Also, it looks like we need hardy for cold temps, but I am troubled by plants that aren't "hardy" enough to withstand the hot sun. I, too, find that my arachnoid semps are sensitive to the sun exposure in my semp bed and have to move them elsewhere even though they are considered hardy...
Anyway, I'll will try to remember to document the progress of the "pocket"...
