I'm joining Anna at
Flutter and Hum to present this vignette of plants from my front garden. This particular area was planted between November last year and January this year as I collected the plants I was looking for. The plants are far from mature but the look I was seeking is beginning to come together already.

| Agave gentryi 'Jaws' is surrounded by 3 Cuphea 'Strybing Sunset' and backed by Abelia x grandiflora 'Kaleidoscope', Leucadendron 'Wilson's Wonder' (a fraction of the size it will achieve at maturity), and Carex testacea |

Echoing the colors in a pot near the front door are some pretty Dahlias I picked up on a whim.

I hope your garden is offering a bit of sunshine today even if the skies are gray.
Visit Anna at Flutter and Hum to see what scene caught her attention this week.
