I’m Jeff Cecil. My wife and I live in Cypress, California. I started gardening about 20 years ago. Here are some current photos of spring plants and flowers. I have very good luck with hydrangeas and staghorn ferns. I also grow bromeliads, tillendsias, spanish moss, succulents, nasturtiums, senesio, and a few others. The challenge for me is managing the space. Our small patio garden brings us so much joy and beauty. I hope you enjoy our photos!
An abundance of hydrangeas (Hydrangea MacrophyllaZones 5-9) with their large, lush flower clusters
In a small patio garden, these incredibly beautiful flowers show that you don’t need a lot of space to enjoy beautiful plants.
These hydrangeas display a full range of flower colors, from rich blue to purple to pink.
Nasturtium (Tropaeolum The Magizones 9-11 or as an annual) are in front, a black-eyed Susan Bell (Thunbergia VomitingZones 10-11 or as an annual) is behind, and a large cloud of pink flowers that to me look like red marguerite daisies (Argyranthemum frutescenszones 10-11 or as annuals) are at the center.
Bright orange nasturtium flowers contrast with silver leaves and yellow flowers. Senecio
This view of the courtyard garden shows how much beauty is packed into this small space.
Plants dominate here, with coleus (Collis scutellarooideszones 10-11 or as an annual) and polka dot plant (Hypoestes phyllostachyaZones 10-11 or as an annual (center stage and silver mass of Spanish moss).Tillandia usneoidesZones 8-10) fall from top to bottom.
A variegated bromeliad and purple-leaved trad scintia (Tradescantia Pallidazones 8-10) shows up front.
Check out this incredible staghorn fern (Platycerium sp., zones 10-11 or as a houseplant). What a beautiful pattern!
