Below is a variegated sage, v. English ivy, and a v. solanem vine. The love birds were a gift from a friend. One day I went out and there was only one bird. I couldn't imagine what happened to the other bird. The next day my oldest son confessed to hitting it with the lawn mower. He said it made a lot of noise and just disappeared. He always hated mowing the lawn.
This euphorbia is one of my favorites. I planted it along with a variegated westringia that gets small lavender flowers, erigeron, and a small lambs ear that gets yellow flowers. The euphorbia also has yellow flowers . My husband says the leaves look diseased but I think he's teasing me.

I can't recall ever having seen a variegated Echium before. Was it expensive? Does it flower in one of the usual blue colors?
I feel like variegation is still an advanced topic for me and I haven't really dealt with it much. I have a variegated green and white plectranthus in the shade under my deck that makes it feel bright and clean under there.
Hi Chuck---The variegated echium has a blue flower the same as regular echium. I don't see it at the nusery often but it wasn't much more than a dollar or two more. (By the way, I like your first yellow flower photo the most)
Hi Abigail, I have mixed feelings about the variegated things, but yours are wonderful. I would not buy a plant just because it was a variegated form, but ivy is an exception. Poor little love bird, a horrible way to go! :-)

Hi Abigail,
Nice topic! I love variegated too, esp the gold and green euonymus that have a splotchy pattern. Have you seen the Marjorie Channon pittosporum? Really pretty graygreen and cream.
The section of your garden shown in the first photo is especially knockout!
