Bahia, oh my gosh. I don't even really know where to start. It is breathtaking. I cannot believe the number of plant materials you have managed to put in this compact area. And without it all becoming overgrown or a jumbled mess. It is simply spectacular. I have a spare room here in Vista if you'd like to spend a wee bit of time at my place, lol! I'm sharing your photos with my landscaper who is going to help me do over a very overgrown, shady area in my yard. This is just beyond anything I've seen. I really love what you've done with the place!

Spectacular and everything else Patty said! You are right, "dreaming" is when I will have a yard like that! You are truly talented and an artist. Thanks for sharing.

Ah Ha! So you would be the David Feix for whom plectranthus David Feix is named?....and did I see said plectranthus in one of those shots?...lol...
Indeed well-done..every plant beautifully show-cased....

It's beautiful -- what a paradise!!
With a garden like that, who cares about going anywhere on vacation?

A feast for the eyes. I'll visit again!
Thanks bahia.

Glad you all liked the photo, there's lots more at my Flickr site if you want to see more of my work. I'd have no problem doing some of what I do down south...

Here's a link to more sets of photos by client:

BTW....I've linked you to the California forum on cubits.org.

Bahia, I may take you up on the offer if I'm not happy with the landscaper I've contacted. Your work is spectacular. I am so envious.

Inspirational, lovely, artistic...everything! Love it!

Me, too. Love your use of textures and architecture. I'm struck by how important it is as a designer to get your hands on mature enough plants.

What makes your work so good is not only do you have the design sense but you know your plants. The big difference between the so-so LA and the great one.

Love! Love! Love! It's beautiful, David! I really, really like the use of Parrot's Beak.

Very impressive. I am in awe. I agree with HoovB. It really shows that in addition to design sense you really know the plants you are using. I find that to be rare in garden design. Most people understand one or the other; very few have a genuine knowledge of both.

waaaa.....I can't find it!!
