Inspiration

A reminder that inspiration for planted landscapes often comes from wild nature itself.  This is probably Lupinus albifrons and was photographed at Eagle Rock near Warner Springs.  Post provided by LJ.

Adenium obesum (Desert Rose) showing 2 flower types on the one plant thanks to a grafted stem (can you see the joint?).  This plant is well suited to San Diego summers as it needs little water and likes it hot.  The flowers, leaves, trunks and roots are all interesting. Plants can be lifted and repotted to display the roots.  In winter they are dormant so absolutely no watering and keep them above 40F.
