East Austin Succulents and Tillery Street Plant Co — a combo nursery visit

You know I love to visit nurseries; at home, when I'm traveling, it's all good! I was thrilled to stop at East Austin Succulents while Pam had us out and about the Monday after the Fling. E.A.S. was a sponsor of the Austin Fling, so I had to buy something right? (like that was a problem)

I did't realize that it was a two-for-one stop though. Turns out Tillery Street Plant Co. is right next door. As I wandered I wasn't sure where one stopped and the other began, thus I'm not drawing a line here, as I said before, it's all good!

Right away I knew there was going to be a lot to choose from. So many plants!!!
Oreocereus trollii aka the Old Man of the Andes
Agave americana 'Striata'

Variegated Agave victoriae-reginae

I honestly can't remember ever having been at a nursery that has a selection of vintage pottery, how very fabulous!
They had a wide selection of new pots as well. I would have seriously considered those tall metal ones with the green accents, had I not been flying home.

Ya gotta love a cactus that blooms while it's bare root and tied to the fence.

Seriously!

There was a wide variety of planted up things to get inspiration from...

And a whole greenhouse/shadehouse of potted treasures to discover...

Did you know there ain’t no Saguaro in Texas? Even though they seem pretty attached to it as a symbol.

Unfortunately I did not spend enough to "spin the wheel"...
I was all kinds of in love with these Opuntia zebrina, but concerned the very markings I loved wouldn't last as the plant matured.

If you read last Friday's post you know I bought an Obregonia denegrii.


Love this variant on the dish planter.
So many Agaves! They were quite spendy though.
Agave isthmensis 'Rum Runner'
Back outside I was drawn to the Airtream/Cycad combo, what's not to love?

I reallly tried to rationalize hauling one (or two) of those tall ribbed cylindrical planters home.

Ditto for the short ones. But I left them behind...(I really don't need more containers).
Bromeliads always make my heart beat faster.

I have two of these same raspberry Cactus, only mine are grafted onto tall green bases. Odd things.
Well, our visit had to wrap up sometime, I guess this point is as good as any. What a fantastic nursery, or two.
