Oooh I LOVE the Terracesssssss!! And I loooove succulents. I was totally all over them last year, but they didn't last the winter. Wasted a lot of money there... Ooops, live and learn I guess.
The wildflower area, what are they? (close ups are always great!) From here they look like they might be indian blanket flowers (gaillardia). They do cover really well. But since it's only one kind, it would be a good idea to find some other great flowers... Oh you know what bugs love?! Russian Saaaage!!
Oh and thank you so much for the shout out!! I am so glad you've found me helpful. Hahaha.
There are definitely some Gaillardia in there! I'm not sure of all of them...we just scattered some seeds a year ago and it went WILD.
I'll plant more for winter and then add in the Russian Sage too!
I do love me some gaillardia, but they are pretty prolific! I don't think honey bees like them as much as bumble bees, so getting some other things up in there will be great. Oooh LAVENDER. That's great, the honey bees love the lavender and they're pretty good in dry conditions. :D
You're right...lavender THRIVES here in SD and it's an absolutely wonderful pollinator attractor!
