Alice, I got 2 agave's, my latest fascination. This one: Agave attenuata 'Kara's Stripes'

I have been flirting with succulents for awhile now and have zeroed in on several kinds. These agave are very special and a bit similar to one I saw at Lotusland that I am just madly in love with. They are tissued cultured. And because they charge a whopping $27 for shipping for 1 plant or more, I got sucked into getting more. So I spent much more so I would not feel cheated about spending the $27 for shipping. LOL

I should have bought a few arisaema or amorphophallus because PD has rare ones and I am in awe of the ones I grow but NOOOOOOOOOO I had to buy 3 farfugiums that I have never seen before. I buy them just because a friend collects them so now I want them too. I am undecided if I really like them. I may just love their name. LOL. I rarely make sense even to myself anymore.
And I got some achimenes because I saw some at Kartuz Greenhouse but they do not sell them till they are dormant. So I felt deprived when I was there not being able to get some. They are a joyful little plant.

Oh Liz, I do not trade. I suck at trading. Ask Alice. I still owe her plants which I have had here for several months and just never send them though I worry over them all the time. I am so pathetic. Send me your address and I will send you some. I have no idea if they need to be planted fast.
