Here’s an excellent little garden I spotted\u00a0while taking the long way round to find parking in Los Angeles. \u00a0Of course the ginormous Agaves caused me to pause, but once I did the rustic split rail fence had me taking a closer look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I love how the small space manages to look both urban, polished and yet a little old west.\"RULA100\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Agave americana ‘Mediopicta Aurea’<\/a> I believe? And who could ignore the virtual sea of\u00a0Senecio mandraliscae<\/a>? Not I…
\n\"RULA101\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you may have noticed\u00a0it flows over the sidewalk and into the hellstrip as well. Intentional, or Mother Nature having her way with the garden?
\n\"RULA103\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wish I could give you an ID on the tall tree above, it certainly adds a sense of place. \u00a0As does that bad-hair-day shrub just down a bit…
\n\"RULA102\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Russelia equisetiformis<\/a> I believe?
\n\"RULA104\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh how I wish I could grow this plant.
\n\"RULA105\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here you have a slight glimpse of the average fencing in the neighborhood (next-door). Which is why the rustic split rail stood out as something different. And let’s not ignore that car-sized Agave…
\n\"RULA106\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Agave americana<\/a>?
\n\"RULA107\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This angle really tests my assumptions (in a good way) of what a garden just blocks from Melrose Ave, in L.A., might look like. I wish I could have talked to the homeowners.
\n\"RULA108\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another surprise, a Hellebore!\u00a0H. argutifolius ‘Silver Lace’<\/a> perhaps?
\n\"RULA109\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Up against the house a planting of\u00a0Kalanchoe beharensis<\/a>, watched over by a mysterious creature.
\n\"RULA110\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a final glance back…
\n\"RULA111\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love discovering cool gardens…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
