It must have good drainage but is still exposed to the rain, and it has to have been in the ground for at least a few years. So maybe the odds are good it's a good Portland agave.<br />I'll report how the Fascicularia does, but my garden is an extreme test - too much shade, not enough drainage. If it can make it here it can make it anywhere, but if it doesn't make it here, it still might do better under your care.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-84631180958870549092010-07-20T17:41:24.853-07:002010-07-20T17:41:24.853-07:00Nicole, if you ever find yourself in the area...
...Nicole, if you ever find yourself in the area...<br /><br />RBell, ah...I believe this M.'Soft Caress' is one I fell in love with but left behind due to the price. I returned to the same nursery early this spring to discover their foliage crispy and brown. But it was beautiful...the fist time I saw it.<br /><br />MulchMaid, I have discovered that the winter kills do free up room and allow for spring plant purchases and actually the front garden is still a little barren, so plenty of room. Although someday I can see that this just might be a problem.<br /><br />Laura, agreed they are amazing.<br /><br />Megan, you know I really felt like I had magically transported to Berkeley, rather than Tacoma. It was amazing.<br /><br />Hi David, I like the way you think! Timber Press...are you reading this? What do you say? But seriously....thanks. I am enjoying the whole thing. I have not taken an A. ovatifolia through a winter here. Theoretically it should work, but it's the damn rain that kills them. I've put it in a pot so it will live under our shade pavilion (rain coverage) for the winter months. Since it should be cold hardy.<br /><br />Grace, and I like the way you think too! Actually I always thought it was odd that they didn't have a website. After meeting the owner I can understand why. Just not his style. I will be happy if this post helps spread the word and he stays in business. Reward enough! Oh and I had no idea about the fragrance ... that's just a bonus!<br /><br />RFG, you better plan to drive home...so you can fill up your car!<br /><br />Denise, amazing...for sure!<br /><br />Karen, yay! I love that you want to get a manzantia. They are so beautiful. What grevellia do you have? I can't wait to hear how it does....and if you get more.<br /><br />Les, omg....can it get any better than that?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-74465558295539064762010-07-20T06:43:45.780-07:002010-07-20T06:43:45.780-07:00I hope your career opportunity pans out for you. ...I hope your career opportunity pans out for you.

I have heard of this nursery but never been. Tacoma's off the beaten track for me too. Glad you stopped, what a great-looking place. The signage alone would be enough to make me practically crash the car too. I think I will have to find room for a manzanita, after all you have shown, and I am also trying my first grevellia too this year. Love your whale's tongue agave and I am a new convert to mahonia too, starting to add them since they berries and flowers are so beneficial to the native critters.Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-57811026572678943762010-07-19T20:49:56.599-07:002010-07-19T20:49:56.599-07:00What a great find.

You could write a book called "Guide to Buying Cool Plants" and include a couple of pages on each nursery. I couldn't imagine a more fun job than to report on mom and pop nurseries. Sound good?<br />As a fellow agave collector:<br />The Agave ovatifolia has not been on sale EVER here in Houston and I'm wondering why????<br />Do you know yet if it is one of those agaves that can stand high humidity and some rain? Have you taken one through a Portland winter?<br />Or is it one of the 'dry' agaves that must stay dry all winter? I'm in humid Houston so I can grow some and others can't stand the place.<br />David at Tropical TexanaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396571260614421332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-49140605657077919262010-07-19T17:29:38.938-07:002010-07-19T17:29:38.938-07:00What a cool place!
