Nice! Enough to start a national park.

Aaron I found 3 cuttings of Ocotillo on the world wide web. Gonna try my hand at these. I'm a sissy, this is probably as much zone pushing as I'll do :lol: I've read so many sites saying they are cold hardy anywhere from 15 and some sites saying 0, so I'll give em a shot. So my plan is to plant the...

Even better!

(Phone) It looks awesome! Colorado has some of the best looking Collared Lizards, love the color.

DesertZone

Love the collard lizard pic!!!! Very Coooool!!!

DesertZone

I bet your missing the green of your garden, very nice!

DesertZone

Very nice Aaron, looks like all your cacti came through looking great. I think for the first year here I am only gonna plant my smaller echinocactus. Too much money if something goes wrong. I would do the same thing. I don't think the cold will hurt it, not in your zone. It would the wet or rot tha...

Ouch, I hope they all pull through for you! Our weather has been much warmer than normal.

Here's an update.

Nice looking bunch of yuccas you have! Love the branching gloriosa varigata, I wish mine would get some height.

DesertZone

Thanks for sharing.

DesertZone

Barb, it still kind of looks green in the pic? Maybe it will come back as it warms up?

Thanks John. I don't think it will be long before yours gets that big, if I remember right your j-tree was growing fast!

DesertZone

Wow, everything looks so good!

Dang. Thought about trying one; but my goal is to avoid plants that I have to baby all the time so I am not sure. Likely too cold here too.

You have a better climate for them, may not hurt to try one or two, if you can find them cheap enough.

mlobato wrote:Aaron how is your Ocotillo doing? Still have it?

It died, just too cold here, but have I seen two big ones Boise ID, but I think the cold last year got them.

Anyone have Cacti & Succulents for Cold Climates by Leo Chance? Finally received my copy; must have. http://amzn.com/1604692642

I have not, but I now want it.

DesertZone

So I believe there is 30 some odd total sprouts some (apx. 20) are definitely more solid and healthy and there is even 1 Rostrata that finally joined the party. No agaves yet. The canopy has been off for days; likely wont put it back on. Haven't had a chance to get a fan yet. The first seedlings ar...

I cant wait to get one clump in the ground and see em grow.

I'm going to uncover mine tomorrow and see they do.

Big Mama seedlings should be hardy to at least -20C.......likely even hardier to -25C. Excess winter moisture is the biggest problem.

Tim, an update for you. I believe every yucca I have received from you is alive and well.

those Y. brev's are beauts! I wish they would like my wet climate!!

Thanks Tim!

They all are doing great, none covered except for two seedlings I started last winter. Even my Y. torryi's are doing great this year uncovered.

DesertZone

WOW! Lets hope for a mild spring. That is some snow you guys are getting.

DesertZone

Chadec, that is an awesome collection! But I see two cactus I just love, and hope to get more of. (E. polycephalus)

Getting close to 60 oF in Manzanita, which is normal for June there.

WOW! It's nice here, but nothing unusual.

Barb

I was thinking the same thing, but I sure it does somewhere.

DesertZone

looks like not enough light, too much damp heat. They need some air would be my guess and some light, just don't let them completely dry out.

DesertZone

Goodness, you almost had to swim home. Good thing palms can with stand flooding, they sure are remarkable plants. I think that was a record rain fall, it was so green when I was down there and grass was growing everywhere. That storm looked light night over Mexico before I left. I knew it going to ...

DesertZone

Thanks John, that made me laugh as well.

Here is a video from the border town about 50 miles south of my place in AZ. This was the storm I could see heading my way while I was on vacation and the reason I left early. Thankful I did not get caught up in that storm.

Do you know of a way to tell a Brevifolia vs. a Brevifolia var. Jaegeriana (plant or seed) without waiting 30 years? Seems I have to fully trust seed dealers that they know the difference or where they sources their seeds from... There is up to 5 different J-trees out there. I can only tell the two...

Do you still have a place in AZ?

Nice photos too...

Yea I still do, it's just bare land. I saving up for a home there, I will have a few places by the time I retire. (I Hope)

DesertZone

Yucca brevifolia, 3-10 to see your first seed to pop.

If anything is going to hurt it the moisture will. I think it's going to OK, it is the hardiest agave I have seen.

janci wrote:Hallo Aron,whether the agaves this first winter in the garden?

No, it's been through many winters, but winters I had it covered, but it has survived before without cover.

Snow in the garden sucks!
