No secrets from you, Sue. LOL

It is that one as you come off the freeway to go to Zuzu's house. It recently changed its name. Is it Digg? I was there the other day and they were having a sale. Sadly, most all was picked over. This one was on a top shelf so you couldn't see the top but saw some dead under leaves so it looked unappetizing. When I pulled it down I was so surprised. And thrilled. Even at full price it was a deal. Every time I walked by it today, I had to smile.

I went to a bunch of nurseries around there but they had nothing. This time of year is so sad for me. Not much to be in a thrill over. Though the same one that had the agave did have a bamboo I have been looking at for 2 years. It is still there. It has gotten so tall though, I would have to bend it over to get it into my car and it is already so big I would have to get an electric saw to divide it. But it sure speaks to me each time I go there.

I got this one too though I have no real clue about it. I already have a bigger one but this one had PINK in the leaves so of course I had to get it. I am now getting so many small succulant pots all over and I so hate that look.

Have you seen 5 gallon black nursery pots anywhere? I went to 5 stores today and none had them! I need to root big brug trunks ASAP.
