   I love the sedum Angelina and those blue pots too. I have some in a taller blue pot about waist high, and I’ve got a draping over the sides mixed in with other plantings

   Nice ideas, Steve. The Angelina sedum in the blue pots and Karl Foerster grass as a screen are two great suggestions. Got a tall blue pot just waiting to be planted.

   Not hard to understand why that grouping of blue pots was worth taking a picture of, Steve. I remember the first year I planted 'Angelina', I was so enamored with the chartreusy color that I was disappointed that it took on the eye-catching orange/red tones in the winter. Ha, dumb me...now I love to see the tinges of the fiery glow starting to develop as the temperatures drop.

   I have to join in on the love of ‘Angelina’. Wonderful accent in the garden against dark colored foliage, and spectacular paired with blue conifers. Plus tough as nails plant. I have it planted in the ‘hellstrip’ where it gets covered in feet of compacted snow from the plows, with the accompanying road salt, and it looks awesome as soon as the snow melts. Then takes the heat of the sidewalk and curb with no extra water. Superstar plant.

   That first photo with the 'Angelina' and blue pots is a stunner!!! What an awesome day that bus trip must have been!

   Hi, Steve. Ditto on the Angelina. I've considered it for several years but now that I hear it takes on orangey tones with cooler weather (thanks, Meander!) I've got to add it along the sidewalk for my purple/orange/chartreuse bed. And what a great job of 'hiding in plain sight' the Karl Foerster does,

   Hi, Cheryl, here's a picture of Angelina in early spring when it still has a strong orangy look.

   Those deep blue pots are great foils for the chartreuse Angelina. There's a deep blue/ chartreuse combo in the wheelbarrow/sweet potato, too. Pulled out my gardener's color wheel and figured out they are two legs of a triad. Have to try those and add the third - some fiery orange-red. That might be too much, but then, too much in gardening is often just right! Thanks, Steve.

   I have a Moroccan patio during the warm season with all Moroccan cobalt blue pots with lots of orange-red for accents and plants that hail from northern Africa - just like I saw in Morocco! So relaxing on a hot summer's day.

   Some clever gardener must have hit up the 2nd hand china shop for that set of cobalt blue bowls and saucers! What an lucky find when brilliantly paired with such a workhorse in the garden and containers, Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’. She really is the perfect plant in my mind with great color, and texture plus being water-wise and trouble-free all in one little plant! Oh, and that riot of annual's... I need to get me some of those!

   On first look I thought I might have died and gone to flower heaven........and the realization that these lovely cobalt blue planters can work with just about any color and style. Mahalo from the land of beautiful blue oceans and green palm trees. Many plants will not do well here-just too hot and dry during the summer months, and this past summer was a melting pot! I've had to learn what works and what melts away, think hydrangeas........but the Bougainville's are the bomb!
