A better blogger would have arranged all the plants in one epic photo for this Haul/Wednesday Vignette post. I am not that blogger. Thus I'm stretching the boundaries of the meme and sharing several photos, with the idea that it's all about The Haul, and thus befitting of a Wednesday Vignette...
The photo above is my Thursday Field-Trip Haul (I wrote a little about that adventure yesterday).
The Lonicera (L. x brownii 'Dropmore Scarlet') was only $9.99 at Means Nursery and is a blooming fool. So hard to resist with all those flowers...
The other tall vine is a Passiflora...
From Garden Fever, and there are tons of buds! Although I didn't manage to photograph a single one.
I also grabbed another of these containers at Garden Fever, now I have three — all from different nurseries.
At just $2.99 I "needed" another Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens'
And since Garden Fever had a nice selection of Annie's Annuals plants I couldn't refuse a Passiflora actinia (check out the amazing flower), now I've got to find just the perfect place for it.
Cistus Nursery is where I picked up this wonderful Opuntia basilaris 'Bugsy', the pads are so round!
Also from Cistus, Lupinus albifrons — from Bixy Bridge CA.
And another Astelia 'Red Devil', because you can never have enough Astelia.
This fine Yucca faxoniana also came from Cistus. I adore it.
Those curls!
From our stop at Xera on field-trip day (but left in Heather's car so not photographed with it's amigos), Arisaema sikokianum ‘Silver Leaf'...
And here's the Hortlandia Haul...
Yes. It's a Sinopanax formosanus. Yes it was expensive. Yes, I'm thrilled.
Bankisa serrata, trying it again. Becuase of those leaves!
Loved the color and form of this Sarracenia.
And this one too!
Aloe erinacea, I've loved this Aloe for quite awhile, glad to finally have one. Now I just hope it grows!
A pair of Leonotis leonurus, lots of orange whorls in my future!
And finally, another Passiflora, this one is P. jamesonii 'Coral Seas', an annual in my climate. I've grown this one before and it's flowers are fantastic.
