Recent Surprises in My Mailbox

Thanksgiving leftovers?   No, I followed Mr. Subjunctive's advice, and found Schlumbergera x buckleyi cuttings online.  I paid for a lot of four but the generous seller included a free fifth.

They came along with directions about how to successfully root them.  Under the plastic bags are potted cuttings.  I can't wait for them to root and grow.
 Euphorbia Flanaganii didn't come in the mail. I found it at Valley Nursery a few weeks ago but it caught my fancy when I was in the greenhouse taking the other pictures.  Isn't it fun?


Agave pups travel very nicely and here are some that showed up between freezes.  Agave isthmensis varigated  is a small agave even when fully grown.

Just out of tissue culture (so they'll probably be more common soon) is Agave parryi truncata "Lime Streak"

I'm hoping that it will someday look like this NFS beauty I saw at Jungle Fever Exotics Nursery last summer.

Clik here to view.


I also ordered a baby Agave 'Joe Hoak' before I found one at a Sky Nursry.  

A free gift of an Agave sisalana mediopicta came with the pups.  It's so nice of plant sellers to do this!

When I lived in Alaska many years ago, I ordered a lot of plants through the mail but am fairly new to doing so these days.  Do you purchase plants online?   Have you had positive experiences?
