Speaking of "filling in " my Mt.Crest order cane yesterday.
I expected a shoe box or larger for this order of 7 plants.
Not so the box was 8 inches square. I know these plants grow fast, if last years orders are any indication.
The plants are all in good shape and will be planted this AM now that the temps are swinging upward.

and how much moolah? Hilarious!

Plants via mail can be so pricey for so little. I am good at getting my money back once I get them a growing though, and have some to share with special gardening locals too who share!

Sorry to confuse.
The grass is armeria Cotton Tail.
The Bluestone semp Rose is my own clue because I couldnt remember the full name of the semp ,only that it was coming from Bluestone.
Its Red Beauty.

I had been at a Artists luncheon and had too much sugar.
We decorated easter cookies.

All I wanted was to go to bed for a nap but there was another box of plants on the doorstep.Santa Rosa order came and I had to unpack and water so they will get planted in the garden today.
Just in time for the Bluestone order to come this afternoon.

Bev: I thought I was the only on on the "wake up" list for Fed-Ex.
I have no idea how much bigger Red Beauty will get but there are 4 parts that are as big as any I got from Mountain Crest and Simply Succulents.
Bluestone price is about 9 bucks.
