A little passion 💘 for Valentines Day...

Happy Valentines Day! Oh I know, it's kind of a silly holiday...but heck, any excuse to be kind and loving to our fellow humans is a good thing, right? Especially in our current political climate. So to get in the spirit of the day I thought I'd share a few examples of plant passion...

Those who wrap their plants to protect them against the cold? They're passionate.

Heck it looks like this person is passionate about a passion flower vine!

Never mind that their cover isn't really doing much, I'm sure it looked better before our insane east winds blew for days and days. And who knows, maybe they saved a few branches?

Yes, it's a bed (ya know, passion is the theme), this is our guest bed. When I last shared images of the basement gardening situation a few of you commented that the Agaves on the bed weren't exactly "welcoming"....now they've multiplied!

Here are the newbies, on the dining table, before they were sent to bed.

How did I come to have so many Agave pups? My friends who own Garden Fever, Lori and Richard, removed the pups around their Agaves at their Arizona homestead. Knowing I'm rather passionate about Agaves they brought them back to Portland and shared them with me. Oh ya! I'm going to be the Portland Agave cupid, matching up lonely gardners with Agaves! I've got Agave weberi pups...

Agave franzosinii pups...

And lot's...

And lots...

Of Agave salmiana ferox pups. How exciting!

Finally, it seems Sunset magazine has uncovered my real name, and now you all know just how passionate I am...Happy Valentines Day!
