    Great photo of the Patch! I especially like the circular bed at the bottom. What all is planted in there? I can see Four Nerve Daisy and a Prickly Pear (I think).

    Thanks Matt, welcome to the Patch, and yes you are correct on your ID…there is also a central sotol, a yucca, even a single strawberry plant in this bed…the purple and pink flower name escapes me, but it is from home depot and it never stops blooming or spreading. This circular bed has sort of developed into my test bed / holding bed of sorts and it is always in flux. This will all change though as the sotol matures and prevents access
