I got a bunch of new plants at the Fall plant sale at Boyce Thompson Arboretum, first plant sale ever I went to while rain was pouring down. I wore my raincoat this year, YEAH!
Anyway, here are a few pictures, the first one is Pereskia grandifolia:
Of course I get this plant right as it looks we might actually have a cooler than normal winter... This becomes a pretty decently sized tree in time...
Here in this picture a set of three mammillaria (two in the big square pots and one in the round pot to the right of those other two) to replace some summer losses, on the left M. grahamii (a local Mamm), then M. geminispina var. nobilis, and then M. montensis. The M. grahamii came with a passenger which looks like Thelocactus bicolor...
Then here the Agave cactus or Prism cactus (Leuchtenbergia principis), a plant that I have been on the lookout for for a while:
Another Mammillaria, M. plumosa, as birds have really done a number on one of my two existing clumps...
That is it for the Fall Plant sale, hard to not leave with more but this coming weekend is the Fall Plant Sale at the Desert Botanical Garden, which tends to get me a bigger acquisition as they tend to have some big bareroot specimens.
Also gotten a few plants through eBay, mostly Echinopsis hybrids here is the most recent small collection:
