Yaquina Nursery, so many plants...
Yesterday I mentioned my visit to Yaquina Nursery and shared photos of what I bought. Today I share images taken at the nursery—and this is a very photo-rich post. I hope you enjoy wandering these three greenhouses as much as I did—it was quite the visual treat verging on overload...
Which greenhouse to explore next!?
We opted for this one, simply because it was the furthest out, then went back to the one shown above.
Yes, that's Andrew. Patiently waiting while I looked at everything and snapped photo after photo.
Natural pest control.
Whew, the end.

Dear Lord, beginning to think plants are like money. The more you get, the more come naturally your way. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI think you might be on to something.
DeleteLots to look at! Andrew should be glad you focused on snapping pictures rather than snapping up one of everything. The agave in photo #48 is gorgeous - a relative of Agave lopantha 'Quadricolor' maybe? I've never seen one with that lovely pink color. The purple-pink color of the Senecio radicans (?) in photo #6 was also unusual. I even loved the nursery's sign.
ReplyDeleteI always thought pink was the 4th color of the quad in Agave lopantha 'Quadricolor'.
DeleteFun stroll through those greenhouses! The plant in photo 12 is cute and unusual, reminds me of fish crackers from outer space...
ReplyDeleteI happen to grow both types of Hawarthia featured in photo 32, in the south-western themed pot. Never seen it turned this cool bright red: it must be the winter chill.
Actually I believe it is drought stress causing the fabulous coloration.
DeleteLots of work, growing lots of plants, and some get away from you.
ReplyDeleteLoved the chicken.
There were more chickens! Only one wanted to have it's photo taken.
DeleteWow, spike heaven! You must have been beside yourself with joy.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun trip for sure.
DeleteDitto, Eliza. I can just imagine you in that environment.
DeleteCould spend a lot of time in there. I like the low-tech vibe too just letting the plants cast their magic.
ReplyDeleteIve been collecting for many years, and can honestly say, most of those pictures show super stressed (and half dead) succulents. Kinda sad. Anyone that knows succulents would clearly see the same thing....
ReplyDeleteAnd it can be seen (and thus noted) without spelling it out too. The owners are aging, not able to care for things the way they once were.
DeleteLove these photos and all the helpful comments. I am sorry to let you know that both Gerry and Roy died in 2022. They passed much knowledge to new owners as they continued to live in their home on the farm until their very last days. The plants are being loved with new energy but the same calm and peaceful magic of this Yachats River Valley. Please come visit again and share your knowledge and love for these beautiful plants.
