Like your blog!

LaMar is one of the nicest people I know. He has a class operation and sells quality plant material.

Both your gardens are great by the way. I'm going to make it up there one of these days to see them in person.

The cactus flowers and their companions are breath taking! Beautiful photos!

I'm doing great!! :thumbright: I feel 100% better and have been out collecting seed in the high country a couple of times this last week. Next weekend I'm going on a hike to the Carson Pass in the Sierras with some freinds.

That is an impressive specimen. Yucca brevifolia if I am not mistaken.
I don't think I've ever seen one with so many branches before.
What's LaMar's secret? If you find out let me know. :-$ I'd bottle it slap on a lable and peddle it. :D

I think that j-tree was about 3-4' tall when he first got, about three times that size now. He does good. :D
