A Pair of Pots


Just a little something something for a business downtown. The client wanted 'fresh' and architectural' for a morning sun/afternoon shade store front condition. She picked out the pots and made my afternoon when I was given free reign of the nursery.

Plant List:
Juncus effusus (Rush) a nice blue-green one, very straight and structured.
Asplenium bulbiferum (Mother Fern) lacy and bright green, provided much of the body for the planting.
Ipomea batatas (Bronze Sweet Potato Vine) a dark purplish trailer, good foil to the other plants.
Satureja douglasii (Yerba Buena) great shade/part sun loving native to Northern California. Has a minty/medicinal scent and sweet little white flowers. Also a good trailer.
Echeveria 'Afterglow' (Succulent) my focal point. This is a beautiful gray-purple that seems to have a magenta glow, good form and provided the "flower" for the planting.
