gg5 said:Gigi, it must be nice to have someone to "moderate" one's "obsession"!! I'm not always the best at "self control" when it comes to those lovely little plants!

I think he is going to drag the front porch project so I don't buy and adopt more plants.

That's funny! "Gotta wait until the project is finished!!" "But honey, they are a gift from the whole neighborhood!"

I will be using that excuse pretty soon! He just gave away one of my rooted trimark plumeria (see my avatar) to my neighbor across from us.

Oh man! Its lovely!

Oh they are pretty, Talk about having some moderation.....there is none here Ric is also a gardener so he just wades in with me when plant shopping and washes away any small amount of hesitation I may have.

Holly that sounds very dangerous!! That's how it was when I visited Salem OR with these semp people...all of us crazily looking through all the semps! Very little self control!! I did have some, since I didn't walk away with one of each cultivar!

Gigi, thanks for posting these pics..I just got that very plump succulent Pacheveria, well mine did not have a tag..so now I know its name!
Thanks again!!

Finally got around to planting some of the new semps I have been picking up. I added some more semps to the living wreath and the rock wall and planted the blue colander and one of the new pots.

Yay, progress! Now don't you feel productive!?
I am ripping out 3 pockets worth of small to medium semps out of a large strawberry pot. The scale of semps to pots is off and so I need to hunt for bigger semps to put into the pot. Don't feel really productive when you have to re-do something that you already spent time on because it just doesn't look right.

Greg, yes that is my first ever plumeria that started my "plummieddiction" and it is fragrant! My tree is 8 feet tall, now I have to wait another full plumeria season to get more cuttings. One bloom will generate 2 to 4 branches.

Glad I could help Tarev, I was soo excited when I found it's name. Wait till it blooms, supposedly this will bloom nice orange showy blooms.

Gigi, that is really nice! I didn't realize that plumeria's get so tall!! I do love the fragrance of them!

I found this interesting color variation of Graptopetalum named 'Darly Sunshine'. Was it ever pink. I may have to go back and get one, can't believe I left the nursery without one.

Very interesting, Lynn. Remember to allow time at the end to pack your plant goodies... How are the nurseries down there so far? I forgot what area in NM you're visiting.

Las Cruces, NM. So far we have been to:
Enchanted Nursery
Guzman's Nursery
Lowes
Home Depot

The first two on the list are amazing. Next week we might be going to El Paso to see what we can find.
I brought an extra suitcase just for plants.

I have to take a photo of the new tri-colored jade plant we got for one of Denice's containers. It is gorgeous.

Nursery tours and plant shopping! That would be fun, Lyn!!

Over the weekend, we got some nice pots from a pottery wholesaler..and they also had an adjacent nursery..so more succulents! Got some nice echeverias and a ZZ plant. that's why I was happy when Gigi posted her succulent photos, I finally got the name of the Pachyveria. We also went back to Cactus Jungle earlier same day, so every cup holder in the car had plants

Here's my new echeverias:
Echeveria elegans grey red and Echeveria elegans blue


Finally a good sized bonsai pot for my other succulents/cuttings:

I'm shopping vicariously thru your forays to the nurseries and pottery yards. What a great time I'm having!

Happy to share the fun!

Wow tarev, great plants and pots.

Bev, I am so glad tarev and I can help you with your plant and container addictions.
I've been looking every where for a new face/head pot. Still no luck.

Tarev that is great collection and love the blue pot.

Me too, I love that blue pot Tarev!!!
Lynn I can't believe you didn't get that plant! Such restraint!! Now stop kicking yourself and just go back!!
I like that little "stonecrop" next to your pink plant!
