I had some initial involvement with the installation of this project back in February 2011 when it was first installed. I finally stopped by to look at how it was doing after almost 2 years of growing. The project was Patrick's first northern California project, and he specified about 90 different taxa of California native plants from throughout the state. Here's a link to a photo set and commentary on my Flickr site.

Vertical landscaping is the only thing that can make me take a second look at natives.

What plants would you have selected?

Which plants would I have gone with? Let's see...

Option A: the Begonias and Impatiens that would be the most likely to reseed themselves. The simplest option!

Option B: Gesneriads! Which ones can be grown outside year around up there?

Option C: Succulents...tree Aloes for sure. The most precarious option!

Option D: Orchids...nothing but Pleurothallids. The most expensive option!

Option E: Tillandsias...aeranthos, stricta...and...and...?

Epiphytes and Economics!
