Night before last I was drooling over pics of the digiplexis, knowing I would never run into any around here....stopped at the Grocery Outlet in Oregon yesterday and...WOW! They had some sitting at the door...they didn't have the items I'd stopped there for, but sure glad that I'd stopped....
A couple of months ago I picked up an echium wildpretii at the nursery in McKinleyville...they only had one and I didn't know if I would encounter another one, so had to get it. As it turned out, the seeds that I'd brought up here with me did well and now I have LOTS of them. This one, having been kept in a pot was not able to reach full height, but is flowering anyway. I'm so happy that the echiums and cistus grow well up here, two of my favorite things....
