Thanks Lynn, I will have to substitute my fantasy of SMG with your memory of afternoons noshing at SMG. Love your idea of annual Open House.
I used to order from SMG but found that browsing by screen is not the same as holding the pot in your hand and really looking at the near actual color, form and size of a particular semp. Nowadays I subject myself to motion sickness on a very winding road 2 hr. drive to the California coast town of Fort Bragg where there's a succulent nursery called Simply Succulent. And, there is where I can be as tactile and visually satisfied by the owner's four long aisles of potted semps on the ground for as long as I want before she closes for the day.
I am in California Zone 9. Thanks for the fun info of place and people (Don)!
Bev
