Guess that proves that root systems are pretty much horizontal unless it has a taproot, huh? Crazy. Love your finds! You might have to go back to get that abutilon, though...Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-81044220819383168262010-07-11T14:37:25.694-07:002010-07-11T14:37:25.694-07:00MulchMaid, fun!

Lost to winter cold or summer heat? Hope you find it.<br /><br />Grace, lottery winnings!? That would be wonderful. Guess I need to buy a ticket though eh? Everything is taking the heat just fine (thank you!). I was giving them big drinks to get through and I think they appreciated the help.<br /><br />ks, what fun you have ahead! And thanks for the reminder about Ferguson's. Another to put on my list.<br /><br />Megan, shoulda for sure.<br /><br />Rebecca, oh I bet you could get one of those abutilon to winter over no problem, hope you find one. I think Monrovia has them. And thanks for passing along the remark from your daughter!<br /><br />Andrew, but just think of how much fun you would have!<br /><br />RFG, why did I buy just one? Well I guess space mainly. But I am really regretting it. <br /><br />Darla, thank you!<br /><br />Matti, good question about the sweetener. I'm going to have to read the fine print next time I see it.<br /><br />Stephanie, I don't have an id, I did look at your blog and didn't see pictures of the colocasia (lots of other beautiful things though!)<br /><br />Means, exactly...I was thinking the same thing (Means). And yes these are the perfect little agave gift size! Especially at first when I thought they were only 89 cents! I was seriously going to stock up! <br /><br />ricki, you are right! (on both points)<br /><br />Tatyana, you know I think the same for me regarding seeing a nursery with so many agaves. They are definitely some of the smallest agaves but for sheer numbers they probably even beat Cistus!

I certainly should visit Fry Road nursery. You took very interesting pictures. For example, a cut banana stalk. Amazing! The prices are also amazing! You and Grace certainly had a great time.

Bargain agaves? I think we've talked about liking to give agaves as hostess gifts, this would be the perfect place to stock up.<br />And only some of my alocasias seem to be coming up as planned. My best garden summer ever had several peeking from the borders. I'm going to have to take a trip to Albany.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-1406769673098695312010-07-09T20:11:20.685-07:002010-07-09T20:11:20.685-07:00Ha ha...

I almost thought they were really flowers from the brom :-D <br /><br />Oh, I just bought a black colocasia which I though it was alocase until I see this post. I am glad I read this post. TQTQ!

I know they say not to buy plants with roots like that for all sorts of reasons, but all it tells me is that the plant was well taken care of and vigorous enough to break free! Why did you only get one? I guess space will always be an issue, but I wish I could find them at that price... I could have a whole potential hedge for 10 bucks!Steve Asbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095474295719758914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-52105035741175514412010-07-08T19:25:58.649-07:002010-07-08T19:25:58.649-07:00I'm terrible at buying things because they'...I'm terrible at buying things because they're cheap, I think I'd have a real problem in a place like that!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347983770474369842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-46716044409292904372010-07-08T19:12:16.785-07:002010-07-08T19:12:16.785-07:00LOVE the abutilon - I've never seen one like t...LOVE the abutilon - I've never seen one like that and must try and find one!

I really need at least one Colocasia - both mine croaked this winter, along with the musa basjoo and several other 'tropicals."<br /><br />Looks like a visit to Fry Road Nursery is in my future (after this heat wave passes.) I, too, am watering like crazy.MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.com
