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!
