Visiting Mickey Hargitay Plants in Los Angeles

Last November my friends Ann and Evan visited the the Los Angeles area just a week or so before Andrew and I did, naturally I followed their travels with mine in mind. One of their stops was of particular interest, Mickey Hargitay Plants—a spot I had read about but then promptly forgot about. I made plans to visit...

Following mickeysplants on Instagram I knew to expect trendy houseplants—this is LA after all, and a much warmer climate than my own.
There were so many fabulous jungle cactus! I really wanted to take this Lepismium cruciforme home with me, but since we were flying I left it behind. Thankfully I've since found once almost as fabulous here in Portland.

I did grab one of these Rhipsalis paradoxa and managed to get it home without breaking it.

So many Selenicereus chrysocardium! 

And happy Epiphyllum anguliger.

What a great way to grow staghorns, these were $45 ea...

We were there at dusk, just before closing, so I was shopping and snapping photos rather frantically. Hopefully you get an idea just how dense the inventory is.

Looking back at the entrance.

And looking up! I was very enamored with the planters on the roof, these are more of the same you saw in the first photo, at the top of this post.

I wonder if these are replanted often, or if they stay this good looking year-round?

Also, I wonder if Andrew would be okay with my putting planters up on our roof? (fat chance)

So many plants!

Of course I had to take a peek into the employees only area, just a peek!

I think it was about here that I realized I'd lost Andrew in the plants. 


And I almost missed this whole section at the front of the nursery!




I saw a few Deuterocohnia brevifolia for sale during this trip, these were going for $35, $85 for the large one.
Finally, there was a small shop selling gear, I almost bought a t-shirt. Should you find yourself in the area I highly recommend a visit...
