I wasn't planning on doing much planting as we are certainly into our hot summer months, but a 75% off sale convinced me otherwise. Only got seven of the seventeen purchases into the ground today, so more is still on the schedule.

I added three Milky Way Cast Iron Plants (Aspidistra lurida 'Milky Way') around the base of a Mahonia (Mahonia aquifolium) to add some greenery amongst the rocks.

Another bare spot fit this Ascot Rainbow Euphorbia (Euphorbia martini 'Ascot Rainbow') perfectly. Have not tried this species before, so I'm hoping this locale gets enough light for it to do well.

The three Echeveria setosa were added to my Three Tiers bed, bracketing the center Calamar Squid Agave (Agave bracteosa 'Calamar'). Several of the remaining purchases are planned for this bed also.
