I posted this on the hoya board but also wanted to post it to my friends here :)
Well I am back from Bob's (phew) wow ..what an experience!!!!! I am still drooling from my nose to my toes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still have not gone through everything and taken photos and could not take photos there.
For one, I am in a wheelchair and too much four wheeling to take photos and secondly it was pouring much of the time we were there!!!!!!
BUT I got some incredible stuff!!!! So I am eager to share with all of you!!!
I know this is not the agave forum but that is another facination of mine and I picked up a quadracolor agave (I have never heard of this) and it is truly SOMETHING else :)
I also found philodendron Monstera variegated which I have been hunting for forever!
Not to mention all the wonderful hoyas I picked up!
Bob was just a sweetheart. He showed us his whole operation from top to bottom :) He helped me hunt down plants and even pointed some out to me that were unique and exciting :) He also introduced us to his three lovely partners (2 corgies and a St Bernard) who were very eager to assist as tour guides.
All in all it was a wonderful experience and I am sure he will see me again. It was all that I expected and MORE!
For those I picked up for..I still need to go through the lists..Some he only had cuttings of...half price...so I took them :) if you don't want them..that is cool. I would not cry over more hoyas but ..I will get back to you in the next couple of days :)
But anyhow.....He is hightly recommended here :) and I have to say, of the vendors I have visited, he was the most welcoming :)
He even gave us tips on setting up my greenhouse MUCH cheaper then we ever expected to pay. :) That is yrs off when we get land but never to early to look into it :)

What an adventure!! I'll look forward to your pictures... I didn't even know variegated Monstera or 4 color agave existed, LOL!
I potted up a few more of your cuttings today that had rooted... now I have 3 flats of plants from you in my morning room, plus the windowbox planter of trailing succulent cuttings! I'm having such fun with them. Thank you!!
