my manzanita wine barrel

so i added my manzanita st helena to the wine barrel along with a couple great other plants. some spread and some just have cool flowers. it took 7.5 cubic feet of dirt to fill this bad boy!

this is a trailing verbena hybrida. great little plant covered in flowers.

this is ameria maritima.

Ptilotus exaltatus. common name for this is JOEY.. i know right?

and last addition to the barrel was this cerastium tomentosum. common name is snow in the summer.

click for desktop sized photos!! garden photos tomorrow!

wine barrel!!

so once again this is all we've got.. its about thirty feet across and ive got about 3 feet wide of dirt!

very excited about this. our friend had a number of these he was moving so heres my wine barrel half! thinking about a tree with plants around it. not sure yet!

heres my liatris roots starting to grow. i got a late start on these. these have an amazing flower so watch out!!!
