Well, I got my first eBay purchases of the season. Echinopsis hybrids all of them, adding to the collection for back yard hybridization.

Also got an order in for a bunch of Agaves from Aridlands in Tucson, which always overwhelms me with the available choice, so there has to be strict adherence to the wishlist. Mostly Agaves that I expect will be able to take a large amount of summer sun.

Then in the next few weeks there will be the Desert Botanical Garden Plant Sale and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum plant sale. So there will be some more cash spent on plants...

Then for those of you who are into blue plants, here is one of my most 'blue' Agaves, Agave shrevei var. metapensis:

It is what it is!
