Electricity


This planting lit up a shady french balcony. This is shortly after installation, later in the summer it was spilling over its' sides. Eclectic patterns came together nicely and gave me a chance to test out some new varieties of plants. This was the start of what I've been calling my "prehistoric" period. Leathery leaves, heavy tropical blooms, and exotic plant types that remind me of a rainforest vignette. Putting it all together: Rex Begonia, Begonia Solanum Red, New Guinea Impatiens, Plectranthus Nico, Coleus Dappled Apple, Trailing Strobilanthes, Purple Heart and one of my favorite secrets Golden Oregano.
