"Emerald City" alpine planter

Green glazed bulb bowl planted up with Lewisia cotyledon "Rainbow", and a mulch of crushed and rolled green glass (to represent emeralds), which glistens in the sun or in rain. A nice wee Wizard of Oz feature for our garden, methinks!

Very clever, the green glass ! Emeralds without a doubt !

I'm getting accustomed to its brightness now. Am going to try another bowl planted up with sedum "Ruby Glow", which has grey-green leaves, with crushed red glass (if I find some).
