Hi GPODers!
Jeff Sisil in Cypress, California (Jeff’s Flower-Filled Patio Garden)
I am Jeff Sisil. My wife and I live in Cypress, California. We have a small patio garden that I enjoy filling with flowers and plants. I submitted for Garden of the Day about four years ago so I thought it was time to update and resend. I’m growing hydrangeas, tillandsias, bromeliads, orchids, and a variety of succulents, along with black eyed Susan climbing vines (Thunbergia alata, Zones 9–10 or as an annual) along with other various plants and ferns.
I also grow Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides, Zones 8–12) and I have several staghorn ferns (Platycerium bifurcatum, Zones 9–13) for which I’ve recently started building mounts. Having enough space for the plants is my biggest issue, but I love my little patio garden all the same!
Moth orchids (Phalaenopsis spp. and cvs., Zones 10–12)
‘Little Missy’ sedum (Sedum ‘Little Missy’, Zones 8–10) and a ruby necklace succulent (Othonna capensis, Zones 5–10)
Dendrobium hybrid orchid (Dendrobium Yukidaruma, Zones 10–12)
Another dendrobium orchid, the pink rock orchid (Dendrobium kingianum, Zones 9–11)
