This was a completely unexpected turn of events!
Wowsa...
Amazing!
These were $2 as well...
Yep...
Nope...
The charm of this place was off the rails. I asked the owner how long she'd been at it, some 25 years. "The plants just kept multiplying, so I started selling them..."
Aloe aristata
Hopefully she's planning to sow a few aloe seeds.
Now that's a passionflower!
Kalanchoe, maybe K. daigremontiana
So many plants!
Of course I was drawn to the NFS sections.
Several ferns have these furry feet, I'm not even going to guess at an ID. It's pretty fabulous though.
You know my line, right? There's always an agave, if you look hard enough...
Sometimes you don't even have to look all that hard.
These are all in pots, instant garden!
Happy bamboo, too...
Out front, by the road, there were cut flowers for sale.
I was tempted, they were only $5. But that was two and half pots of sempervivum!
My friend Beth did not hold back. Each flat holds 16 plants.
This was my haul. Ten sempervivum and an echeveria, only $22. I'm already wondering why I didn't buy more...
Of course, I'm having lots of fun with what I did buy...
The small piece of wood already had a hole in it, how could I resist?
A note for anyone considering visiting the nursery, she's closing soon for the season, so don't wait too long!

Discovering a "new" nursery is always fun and this looks like a great one. Four-inch succulents for $2! That's unheard of here and this is succulent country.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the difference comes down to rural Oregon pricing vs. urban SoCal pricing.
DeleteGotta love these often-the-beaten-path nurseries. You scored a great haul for peanuts. I admire how you immediately get them planted up. My purchases often languish in their pots for weeks prior to finding their final home. Elaine.
ReplyDeleteWell, in the name of honesty I must say I've only planted a couple of them. They rest are waiting...
DeleteGreat deals! This reminds me of a place around the corner from Windmill Nursery in Sumner -- Woodland Park Greenhouse -- which has similar cheap pots of Sempervivum. You should visit next time you're in the area, but they're only open during the spring and summer, and they only take cash. I love what you did with those pots of the cobweb Semp.
ReplyDeleteAh I will keep this place in mind the next time I'm up your way!
DeleteThe cobweb sempervivum is a favorite one mine, ever since one hitched a ride in a pot of another plant purchase. I first thought I was looking at a bed of river rocks... Nice haul and fun placement in the wood. I wouldn't have been able to resist either.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I spooned enough soil down in the hold that the little plant can root and be happy.
DeleteWhat a great nursery to explore -- and yes, you needed more semps!
ReplyDeleteAlways!
DeleteWith those prices, my trunk would be filled!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to go back...
DeleteWhat a treasure! You scored some nice plants but I would have taken the Agapanthus.
ReplyDeleteAh, if only I had the room...
DeleteThe furry fern is Davallia. I won't guess species because they are rarely labelled, but Davallia mariesii is supposedly hardy, though I've been too scared to test it because mine is in a hanging basket. I've found all Davallia to be very easy to root from pieces of their "feet."
ReplyDeleteThanks! I got as far as davallia and then gave up. Furry feet rooting eh? Sounds like fun.
DeleteAh, serendipity. How awesome that must have been.
ReplyDeleteyep!
DeleteWhat is the name of the nursery?
ReplyDeleteI don't know that it has a name, it's in someone's backyard.
DeleteThe fern with furry feet looks like Davallia fejeensis. I had it growing in a bog setup at one point, and it did tremendously well with its feet wet year round.
