I love it when Western gardeners decorate in a style that celebrates the West instead of trying to make their gardens look like somewhere else.  For instance:

All the ideas and photos are courtesy of San Diego garden writer, Debra Lee Baldwin.  The first two photos are from her brand new book, Succulent Container Gardens, which is full of equally stunning photos.  To find out what went into getting these shots, see Baldwin's recent blog post on Gardening Gone Wild.

Or, going further West, how about this?
