Can't get enough of them, and no garden is complete without a few,(or who am I kidding, ... dozens), of succulents, as well as some complementary bromeliads such as Dyckias and Aechmea recurvata cultivars that can handle full hot sun. Again, even if nothing ever bloomed here, the color contrasts and variations on a theme complement each other. Echeverias, Sedums, Aloes, I could actually design a garden only using these 3 plant groups, but not being a real minimalist, I've never tried such a limited plant composition. Certainly the textural, color and seasonal variation of these 3 is sufficient that it could be done... These plantings are also a good example of flow in a garden, and how it gives a sense of movement, leading the eye to the final platform at the seat/bench.

Saxifraga squarrosa Slo.: nasršeni kreč Dat.: Aug. 5. 2013 Lat.: 46.43865 Long.: 13.64407 Code: Bot_739/2013_IMG3883 Habitat: Stony alpine pasture, modestly south inclined mountain slope, growing on large calcareous boulders scattered around, full sun, wind swept terrain, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 1-3 deg C, elevation 1.975 m (6.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil in rock crevices of stony faces and large boulders. Place: Mt. Mangart flats, ~100 m north of Mangart alpine road when it passes Red rock region, Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC Comment: Saxifraga squarrosa is endemic to southeast Alps and one of the most beautiful, high-elevation, late-summer flowering plants in Julian Alps. It is quite a common species on Mangart flats. One can find it almost on every big enough calcareous boulder, which are abundantly laying at the foot of Mt.Mangart's west face. A single small and dense cushion can often have more than hundred relatively to the leaves quite large flowers. Sometimes, like miracle, a cushion apparently grows right from solid rock. Indeed, very small rock crevices suffice to this plant to thrive successfully under harsh high-mountain sun rays and on the most exposed and wind and rain swept places. A very similar close-relative, Saxifraga caesia, also grows in the same region and on similar places. It differs from S. squarrosa mostly in details of very tiny leaves and flower steam hairs. Reliably distinguishing between both species without a good hand magnifier is sometimes quite a challenge. Ref.: (1) M. A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.
