It’s a work in progress. The main photo was taken recently, before the gomphrena bloomed. Soon, the area will be bursting with red flowers. I have not pulled any of the seedlings up. I decided to let them bloom wherever the seeds fell last fall. There is also a teeny green agave growing. A neighbor and I traded agave babies.

An outdoor organic garden located in austin, United States, youngandwithit's Front garden currently contains 14 plants.

This is a Desert garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 8b. It has mainly Clay soil and receives Partial Sun light.

    You have some beautiful and unusual flowers in your yard! I used to live in zone 8 and Many of these I have never seen! I saw your agave too! Isn’t that the plant that is in Rain by Snapple?
