The Latest Iteration of My Ever-Expanding Wish List

8/12/2013

 
My wish list is getting more exotic, folks!  Here are the latest additions.  It's dominated by crassula (crassulas?) these days.  Hm, I might need a trip to South Africa.  Click on a photo to go to the website it's from.  (I try to use only fair use photos... an ongoing challenge.)

I've done so-so on finding the plants that have been on my wish list in the past.  Recent acquisitions include two crassula deceptors (I'm successfully rooting some cuttings from those, too!) and several haworthia truncatas (and variations thereof).  But others have been either impossible to procure or prohibitively expensive, particularly agave excelsior and agave "Joe Hoak."  I found one of the latter at East Bay Nursery in Oakland and it was over $60!  Had a bunch of babies, though.  Maybe I could have sold them off to pay for the mama... 

Oh well.  Not having much excess cash at my disposal certainly heightens the thrill of the hunt!

What's on YOUR wish list?

You have several plants on your wish list that I wasn't aware existed -- the agave, the kalanchoe and Crassula plegmatoides. I'm curious if I'll see them at the CSSA show this weekend at the Los Angeles Arboretum.
