In order to hide a water softener, we offset two ocotillo fence panels and let Mexican viper snapdragon vines grow through them. The design also includes a fountain and pots from Stonesmith Garden Vessels (www.stonesmith.com), and large specimen yuccas from Mountain States Wholesale Nursery (www.mswn.com). This garden, which as of 2013 is seven years old, has become lush. The homeowner has healed-in the runners of the ‘Silver Falls’ dichondra so that if forms a dense mat and the rain lilies have multiplied into lush bouquets.
