I found these half planters last Nov, and stored them away till I had the opportunity to create a vertical garden. We have a blue wall that is connected to the house and is a backyard privacy screen. Santosh helped me tape and hang the planters. Initially I had a more symmetric pattern but he suggested this one which turned out even better.

These plants remind me of portulaca – I believe they are of the same purslanes family. They are succulent, so I hope they will be hardy and survive when there is no one watering them. I purchased bright pink, white and a lovely variegation of both shades. I threw in a wild version that was growing at the beach. I said to Santosh “I may be introducing something invasive into my garden.” To which he responded, “Not really, I see them everywhere.” Mmmm, not sure if he was paying attention to me or not.

This new addition added more charm and interest to the ever evolving side garden.
