Transplanting

I built a second pair of railing planter boxes for the left side of the railing, directly outside the front door.  I originally had several plants in there but they were tall and I wanted to have something shorter for better viewing - I pulled almost everything out.

Here is an overhead view of the 2 beds I built from pallets.  I have placed several succulents, some of whom I have grown indoors, some outdoors.  My challenge now is going to be finding all the names of them since I have never kept the labels and some I have had for years.

I'll move them around a few times and sit with them for a few days before I finally decide where to place them.

I left this one in (name unknown at this stage) - it just bloomed for the first time since I bought it from the Berkeley Botanical Garden.  It's beautiful and it will be the only tall plant in this double-bed of succulents:

I also transplanted the following into some large plastics pots at had left over from my summer vegetables.  It's not ideal since I do not care for the plastic look but it will suffice for the time being:

I haven't found out what this is yet but it has has been blooming for a couple of months - I dead-head the old flowers and it continues to grow taller and bushier.

I coupled it with this prickly cascading plant.

I think this is a Pennisetum setaceum from the Poaceae family, common name Fountain Grass, which has just begun to bloom.  I transplanted it and I hope it establishes and does well.
