You had incredible ideas there. I did a search on the field and found that quite possibly many of us will agree with your weblog.

Karen: I think you planted the idea of face to face get-togethers with your posts about those in your area. Sure! C’mon down! Cistus nursery is nearby, too…just to tempt you further. I answered your grass question in the Bloom Day post.

Linda: Thanks for the visit and the comment. I couldn’t find a way to track back to you. Do you have a blog?

Can I come too? Would love to meet all of you folks one of these years. I think you guys have better nurseries down there, or maybe I just am not finding the cool outlying ones. Do you know what that grass is, some kind of miscanthus or ?? I have some but they don’t flower. Saw one with those dramatic reddish plumes the other day and had to stop in my tracks. What a show-offy grass! Nice purchases, unusual and fun selections.

Gee…with all of you planning trips my way, I’m thinking we should plan an in-the-flesh get together around this time next year. We could lay siege to Joy Creek and Jockey Hill (Michelle is a friend, who would let us in at her wholesale nursery if we plan ahead).
Jane: I looked for Thudercloud after seeing it at the Oregon Garden in Feb, when the candles were huge. The big ones I found were in the $100 + range. Finally found a small one at HPSO for $18. Joy Creek has many wonderful trees in their display gardens, but not so many for sale (lost their supplier this year).

Plants in view. O the Joy!

Fun post, Ricki! I will need to make the stampede out highway 30, too. I’m hoping there’s enough for us all.

I think that Thundercloud pine is just what Mr. Mulchmaid has been looking for as an accent in a smaller bed. D’you think they have them now?

Thank you for cutting to the chase there and calming my fears about the Agave! And good news on the sale…I might just have to check it out! Nice purchases!
