(too much winter! my mind wanders back to Phoenix in October...)
My sister-in-law wanted to meet-up to get my opinion on paint colors and you know I love to check out the plant offerings at the big box stores when I travel (previous posts from Tucson and Berkeley) so off to the H.D. we went...

I love how the ultra-dangerous Opuntia are right out there in front, where people pass by on their way to their cars. Hopefully small kids in Phoenix are smart enough to know hands-off.

That's a fun mix of colors! 5-gallon mixed Cotyledon species $18.98

Always love the barrels.
![]()
"Firesticks" 10" pot for $24.98 (doesn't that seem a little pricey?)
![]()
Marked as "Gypsum Agave" (Agave gypsophila), not so sure about that one.
![]()
This one seems more like it! ($22.98)

Purdy! Agave celsii 'Multicolor' (12" $45.98).
![]()
Cotyledon teretifolia, also marked as Finger Aloe — which I thought an odd name (2-gallon $12.98). I'd of bought one of these, if I could have got it home without destroying the chalky beauty.

The infamous "ass't succulents"

I know I'm focusing on the prices of things, but isn't that why people shop at stores like this? These 8" pots were $18.98. Again I feel like that's a little high...isn't it?

Maybe I just have some misconceived notion that these things should be cheaper here.

Ah, interesting Echium candicans 'Pride of Madeira', that's fun. I should have grabbed one of these and begged my brother to plant it.
![]()
Dasylirion wheeleri, 5-gallon (small plants) for $18.98.
![]()
And finally Bougainvillea 'Flame'— it's orange! 2.25-gallon for $10.98, I wanted to buy them all...
