This is the start of a really nice planting. I added Lignum Vitae, Slash Pine and Paradise Trees later. The plants here include Sea lavender, Key Lily, Firebush, Bahama Strongbark, Cinnecord, Silver Palms, Mexican Alvaradoa, Buccaneer Palms and groundcovers including: Coontie, Mimosa, Fogfruit, Quailberry and Seaside Joyweed.

The entire L shaped front swale is full of Dune Sunflower. This needs once a year mowing of the old plants, fertilization of seedlings that come up in April and fresh mulch between the plants
