I wanted to re-visit this article from Martha Stewart’s Living mag this summer. Why? Because it is so toasty warm in Los Angeles today while the rest of us in the nation and Europe are freezing! And, because it features my favorite plants of all, succulents. Just look at that wall of Aloe vera! Makes me not afraid to forget the pot handles returning the Le Crueset back to the oven! This is the landscape architect, Joseph Marek’s home and garden. Pretty nice, huh? How about the foxtail agave, or Agave attenuata? Just because she is named after the goddess of Greek mythology that tore her own son apart doesn’t mean anything! She doesn’t need hardly ANY water. What’s not to like? Malek has done a beautiful job. And, he makes me long for a land that doesn’t freeze.
