enhance the existing garden planting to create a fuller richer and highly realistic mediterranean garden while keeping the existing garden design architecture hardscape and composition completely unchanged the current borders already contain some cacti strelitzia and lavender keep these existing plants and integrate additional mediterranean plants around them to make the planting feel more abundant mature and naturally established planting density increase the amount of vegetation within the existing planted borders only make the borders feel fuller deeper more layered mature naturally abundant vibrant carefully designed but not overly manicured avoid large empty patches of soil or sparse planting create a convincing mediterranean planting composition with different heights textures and forms rather than evenly distributing identical plants mediterranean plant palette introduce realistic mediterranean species that complement the existing planting such as agave aloe yucca euphorbia pittosporum myrtus rosemary santolina westringia salvia gaura verbena ornamental grasses thyme additional lavender small mediterranean shrubs low flowering perennials additional architectural succulents use strelitzia and cacti as existing focal plants while adding surrounding shrubs grasses and lower flowering plants to create a natural planting hierarchy do not make every border contain the same species natural layering create several planting layers tall layer existing strelitzia and selected architectural plants medium layer mediterranean shrubs flowering perennials and structural foliage low layer lavender rosemary thyme salvias grasses and ground cover planting plants should overlap naturally and create depth with some plants partially obscuring others avoid a repetitive one plant every x centimetres appearance realistic plant growth every plant must look like a real living plant photographed outdoors introduce natural variation in plant size height leaf direction density growth shape colour maturity spacing plants should not look cloned duplicated or procedurally repeated allow some plants to grow slightly irregularly and naturally avoid perfectly spherical shrubs perfectly symmetrical plants or unnaturally uniform borders vibrant mediterranean character give the garden a warm vibrant mediterranean character with natural variations of deep green foliage silvery green leaves warm green tones muted blue green lavender purple subtle flowering colours occasional warmer floral accents the planting should feel lush and alive without becoming tropical or excessively green keep the overall character mediterranean dry climate and elegant important preserve the design do not change architecture villa pool terraces walls paving paths furniture garden geometry existing borders camera position perspective composition do not extend planting into paved areas do not change the shape or location of the existing planting beds only enhance the vegetation inside the existing garden borders photorealism the added vegetation must match the original photograph perfectly in lighting shadows exposure colour temperature perspective scale depth of field sharpness atmospheric conditions plants must cast realistic shadows onto the soil and surrounding surfaces the new vegetation must look as though it was actually planted in the garden when the photograph was taken not digitally added afterward avoid any visible ai artifacts repeated plants melted leaves impossible growth patterns or overly perfect foliage final result the garden should feel like a high end mature mediterranean landscape design abundant vibrant elegant and natural with architectural plants such as strelitzia and cacti complemented by layered shrubs lavender grasses and flowering mediterranean species make the planting significantly fuller and richer but keep it believable and sophisticated the result should look like a real professionally photographed mediterranean villa garden not an ai generated garden
