Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Do I need this vine?, 1 by Kell

I am in contorted in misery today. I am in great need of an agave I saw yesterday that was too pricey but I can't stop thinking about it. Woe is me. I have plans for today and tomorrow so not sure when I can get back. I may have to change plans. I am trying to resist. I am broke. A friend the other day said when I was in the midst of a squeal of delight as I saw a new plant at a garden we were touring that I have been given a great gift from God to be so enamored with plants. This is so true to feel so intensely such a great love which has given me so much enjoyment for my entire life but it is also a great burden to be racked with such need. I remember as a 6 year old picking all the carnations in a nearby GH and taking them home to my mother so thrilled with my great find. Only to be spanked hard! OUCH! I should have learned my lesson then. LOL


I so suck at actually sending plants, Dutchlady. I procrastinate. When I repot this I will try to get it together to send you a pup. It is pupper by nature. I have one already that I bought last year. It was in a 5 inch clay pot with one 4 inch plant. I paid $48 for it. Still makes me crazy I paid that. But I loved it so I had to have it. I paid much less for that big one yesterday!

Lakeside, I am going to move them to a big shallow green bonsai pot I have and I want it filled with them. I love this one. A mini with the best end thorns.

Here is my older small one. It had no pups when I got it last year so you can see how it pups so freely. Again, kills me they charged me so much for one that pups so easily. Agave parryi minima variegata Great variegation, great thorns and it is flatter than the average agave which is so attractive.
