Every now and again, my mom and I like to visit nurseries together... especially succulent nurseries! Last week we went to one in Berkeley's Fourth Street neighborhood called "Cactus Jungle." It's a pretty cool place. A lot of stuff is way overpriced, but some is quite reasonable, so it's a good place to go if you shop judiciously. Anyhow, we saw some very cool plants, and I thought I'd share some photos with you.
 Not sure what this is, besides lovely... |  Agave stricta v. nana  Ibervillea lindheimeri. Now THAT'S what I call a caudex. |
Haworthia truncata--one of my all-time favorites, though I haven't dared let my own get this beautiful (stressed) red!
 Euphorbia aurediviridiflora |   Aloe lineata v. muirii |
 I love the rebel part of this myrtillocactus geometrizans: "I don't care what you guys do; I'm NOT going to crest."  Euphorbia blupleurifola |  Myrtillocactus geometrizans crest (different from the one at left)  Mammillaria parkinsonii |
Difficult as it was, neither of us came home with any new succulents! Though we DID buy a new kind of fertilizer to try (and by "we," I mean that my mom bought it for me--thanks, Mom!). Oh--and we also bought potatoes there. But I digress. Have a lovely day, succ-ers!
