In
part 1 of this post, I showed y'all the demonstration garden (including koi pond) together with the propagation greenhouse of
Poot's Cactus Nursery inward Ripon, California.
This post service focuses on the sale area. While smaller than the propagation areas, the sale expanse is jam-packed alongside goodies. There's an exterior expanse alongside tables for smaller plants equally good equally a alternative of larger specimens that simply sit down on the ground. And there's a retail greenhouse alongside to a greater extent than cold-sensitive together with rare specimens, all waiting to travel discovered together with explored.
I was happy to see that Poot's provides shopping carts together with wagons for those of us who direct maintain works life shopping seriously. This is Mariel, SCSS vice president together with computer program chair, who organized this champaign trip together with took payoff of this chance to purchase the raffle plants for the side past times side coming together (Monday, March 27, 7:00 pm; for to a greater extent than info,

The retail greenhouse is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than exciting that the exterior sale expanse because the plants are inward seemingly random order.

 |
| Deuterocohnia brevifolia |

Aloe elgonica grows inward alone 1 location, Mt Elgon on the edge betwixt Republic of Uganda together with Republic of Kenya (and perchance alone on the Republic of Kenya side of the mountain). |
 |

 |
| I didn't dare larn my hopes up, but Brian Kemble confirmed that this is indeed Aloe vaombe. |
 |
| I'm a very, really happy camper. |
 |
| Aloe debrana, a rare aloe from Ethiopia. It's pretty but non really distinctive, perchance alongside the exception of its sudden teeth. But look at the flowers it produces! |
 |
| I also works life closed to other works life that had been on my want listing for a long time: Sansevieria trifasciata 'Bantel's Sensation'. It's strictly a houseplant, but it'll travel a nifty add-on to the other sansevierias that direct maintain taken upward residence upstairs. |
Considering how far I stray from abode at times, Poot's is actually quite close. I've vowed non to permit closed to other half-dozen years larn past times earlier my side past times side visit!
And if y'all direct maintain plans to see Yosemite National Park this year, innovation on stopping at
Poot's. They're correct on Highway 120 simply a few miles due east of Manteca. Sumber http://www.succulentsandmore.com/
