Say Bob.....
Would you mind doing an "photo walk" of your garden? Would love to see the details. I promised not to use the shots in the OT 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Or give them to Joe? OK, do you just want
the current condition or starting from day 1 layout? One thing that won't show in photos is the fact that I used about a 2-3 " layer of beach sand
under all the walkways(pavers and gravel) and no weeds have ever grown there.

OK D-robert, century plants. But if I look at neighbors that planted them 3-4 years ago and are blooming with stalks passing the electric wires along
the road, I feel there bis someting wrong with mine. Soil perhaps? Specimen, arte there fast ones?
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

Maybe they transplanted adult plants that were already 20+ years old?
Mine came from the babies produced by an adult plant that then died.

Here's the best I could do since I just have a cheap camera and don't know the names for all the free starts and stuff that just volunteered:
View from Livingroom
View looking towards house
First Geranium planted fro 8 starts
Xenias after gophers killed a bunch
Succulent garden from free starts
Don't ask me what these are but the starts were free
rustic bridge over dry wash
watering hole for quail (water to be added)
EDIT TO ADD MORE
5 year old pencil plant? from free start
gardener's handy work
3 year old store bought Azuela
CFE easement beyond
Red Apple's not ready to bloom
East property boundary

For some reason, these shots don't begin to do the vibrant colors justice.
Judgeing from the lack of shadows you shot these around 11:am. Id try a bit earlier and get a bit more depth out of the shadows.
Sunlight from straight above is very unflattering for plants, and portraits.

Oh yeah....turn on the sprinklers for a while before you shoot. A dry garden looks dead.

So this wonderland of yours ....must make DENNIS's house look like a dump
Absolute eye candy. I thank you for taking the time to post these pictures for us.
Love the Rock Rose..........I see you have those too. You are lucky that the jack rabbits are not dining in your yard.......I have mega issues in San
Felipe with them. They actually ate down my young Date Palms!
