I had one like it that was, and it is no longer with me, so maybe it too was destined for zone 9. But I remember loving it while I had it, with those bright variegated leaves.<br />I'm feeling like a slacker on my plant sales now. I'll do my best to catch up at the HPSO sale.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-47127083101026873702010-02-24T22:53:45.404-08:002010-02-24T22:53:45.404-08:00Very kindly of you to rescue that agave, I hope it...Very kindly of you to rescue that agave, I hope it recovers and thrives under your tender care. I spotted the zebra plant behind it and though, geez, wonder what that thing is, it's pretty cool! Then in the next picture, you both named and had bought it! That's funny about the thyme plant. Well, rational thought sometimes just goes right out the window when plant sales are concerned, for me anyway! Interesting that the ceanothus is not hardy - the green-leaved ones seem to be, at least mine is. I also saw a trailing one that seems to have lived through our winter, I am considering it for my stretch of retaining wall where all the rosemary died.

Thanks for answering that.

You must have read Allen's comment. If I didn't have tough skin and fellow bloggers with which to share my rants, I might be offended. Allen is British and I'm learning that many, by no means ALL but many British consider Americans of a lesser quality, an inferior species that need to...whatever. :) I'll stick with the British kindred spirits. There are a some real jewels across the pond. <br /><br />Countdown to spring, ah yes. I found this by clicking on another blogger's similar button. I've got summer bookmarked and ready for take off. Never satisfied. <br /><br />I must ask, if I may. Do you see my sidebar? Teza told me he's not seeing it and I wonder if it's his computer or a universal problem. I removed my Blotanical logo/link which I suppose could have caused problems given Blot's MIA status. Anyway, when you get a minute, I'd appreciate your assistance. Thank you, thank you. <br /><br />As for my being sick: This is weird. A few days ago I wrote a draft on LiveWriter, just a loose stream of consciousness thing, not meant for human consumption. Apparently rather than storing it in Drafts, I published it. Major oops. It's gone now which explains why your hunt was fruitless.

Good to know how very tender the Diamond Heights ceanothus is and who knows, maybe the abutilon will weather next winter...third time's (winter's?) a charm?MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-90444182152166647662010-02-17T15:24:39.797-08:002010-02-17T15:24:39.797-08:00Hi Jane~~ Nice score.

Is Loree rubbing off on you? <br /><br />Personally what you called "prosaic" I think is a beut. I've got two culinary thyme plants in my a dry rock garden-esque area and they do really well. I think the secret is to pinch them back often so stay bushy rather than woody and leggy. I'm kind of slow on learning these things. Now my plants stay compact and green all summer and winter. They're not very big but size doesn't always matter. :)<br /><br />I lost my 'Diamond Heights' so I can attest to its tenderness however, I've had my 'Nabob' Abutilon in the ground for three years. They don't make it in pots though. <br /><br />I like the stature of your Scilla. Your finds are a fitting way to welcome spring. I got a Dancing Oaks email today.

I love your Haworthias, I had a similar lovely specimen until it got completely taken over by little mites...be careful!
