PPAF = Plant Patent Applied For
The tag says "Propagation prohibited." Hope I don't kill 'em. Sticking tongue out Luckily they're very low care, easy to take care of plants.

Yeah, they came from Bluestone Perennials and they look quite healthy. They also have one of the best packing methods I've seen, with a cardboard retaining tray that folds and essentially locks them in place. Pretty cool, and the plantable pots are nice as well.

Here are two agave parryi that just arrived. I learned my lesson last winter, all agaves will be in containers and brought inside this winter. Sticking tongue out

That's too bad. Sad
Yeah, I lost at least one agave, maybe three (not giving up on the other two yet Sticking tongue out ) and three others were kept inside.

The planting has begun.
There are supposed to be at least ten days of no lower than 40 degrees, so I got 17 plants planted and mulched today.
I've never hoped the weather men/sites are correct more than I do right now... nodding

J.C. for some reason I've been missing out on this thread. Looks like you are rapidly being sucked into the fantastic world of plants. It's always good to find a new person as obsessed as the rest of us.
