Continuing from Part 2a...
I did take rather a lot more photos in the afternoon for some reason. I wish I had taken more photos at Will's garden, but I think I was just too entranced by it all!
Melissa and Keith are very fortunate to live in a rural area (if not rural, it certainly felt like it). It was very peaceful as we wondered around the garden. Going from jungle at the top of the garden, nothing prepares you for what lies just over the edge of the terrace.
Agave franzosinii.
The most beautiful Yucca carnerosana. These plants really love the dry conditions in this part of the UK.
Keith chatting, while Paul looks at the Yucca carnerosana with envy! The other plant is a huge Nolina nelsonii.
The wonderful varied forms of Yucca.
This Yucca linearis is a real knock-out. Supremely elegant with a perfect sphere of foliage.
Yucca filifera.
One of the best bits of xeriscaping in the UK, I would say. It's a shame more people don't garden like this. This sort of garden is all too often considered eccentric. Maybe that's just why it appeals to me?
There are a few lovely plants that are due to go in. This is a Dasylirion longissimum ready to go in once the arid borders are continued across the garden.

That is amazing. It's like going to the Eden project, but without the biodomes! Those plants look so happy.
