DIY greenroof installation part II

we planted our roof three weeks ago. at first blush it looks like dirt mostly but we've seen a little progress. go rain!!

the roof has patches of natives (oregon iris, fleabane, wild coastal strawberries, western sword fern) perennials and culinary herbs (rosemary, lavander, echinacea, oregano, marjoram, chives, curry plant, mint, maiden pink and daylilies) but is mostly planted with sedum cuttings and plugs (delosperma cooperi, sedum acre, sedum album 'coral carpet', sedum rupestre erectum, sedum spathyphyllum, sedum spurium 'elizabeth').
