And Then There Was One.

Not this one, but I hate starting off with an ugly photo.  *Tillansdia setting to bloom in the shade house.

but this one, the one and only thing left in the center bed in the front!  I got everything else cleaned out over the past 2 days.  Of course, I've left the hardest job for the end.  

Removed the metal edging I put in ages ago, it's unnecessary. And kills the rocky vibe I'm 🤞hoping for.

All folded up and into the trash. *Sorry this isn't much of a reno post, but I like to have record of the dirty work.  

I've got several random pots that need refreshing, this one looked so full and pretty I left it for now. 

Ugh, I've been picking up leaves, but you wouldn't know it from this picture.

But the grouping would look nice in the ground, too.  Who knows where it will end up.

I can't resist posting a few photos that are a bit more fun. In the middle there (and another one further back to the left) is Hakea laurina.

And a close-up from the other angle, so you can see it's gorgeous blooms. The start off like poms of looped buttery yellow yarn and then burst into these exquisite little aliens. This is one of those plants I can't believe has agreed to live with me. I love it!

Labeled as Agave titanota 'Lions Mane' -but looks like black and blue to me?  Who cares.  Look at those inky teeth.

  Swoon.   Total ❤ hunk.  

And I'm on Aloe bud watch 2025.  So exciting!

Next up, getting rid of that tree that is taller than our house.  Gulp.  

I hope you're having/had a great weekend!  It's going to be 80° here, I'm sure our last for a few months.
