Yesterday I wrote about my visit to Heronswood, however I need to catch you up on what came earlier in the day. Before the Heronswwod sale I (we: Andrew and I) first had to get up before dawn and drive up to Tacoma, where we (I: Andrew had other places to be) met up with the master of ceremonies Peter (aka the Outlaw Gardener) and the rest of our group for the day: Alison,Laura (and her Pirate), and Anna.

You've probably already followed along with our adventure on the other blogs, but Peter had come up with a master plan that had us visiting a crazy list of nurseries at a semi break-neck pace. First up (before Heronswood opened) was Valley Nursery in Poulsbo, Wa.

Thanks to Peter I already knew Valley had a great assortment of plants from WeHoP, what I didn’t know was how much I would want to buy them ALL! I’d been to Valley once before, in June of 2012, also on Peter’s advice, it was great then but this tme I wanted everything!!!

There is no bloom like zone 9 grevillea bloom.

And ya'll know how how much I love a good Leucadendron...

Peter grabbed this one. Isn't it gorgeous?

I want! (not the statue silly)

The only problem with this nursery visit was it happened first in the day. There was no way I was going to spend $49.99 on a Kalanchoe beharensis this early. In retrospect I still have a huge crush on this plant but I'm okay that I passed on it.

Next up on the wheel of desire, Dusky Bells Correa. This one was only $14.99, and not hardy. Maybe I shoulda...

Tree ferns, always love them.

And this! Seems to be the "everywhere" plant right now...

This one always tugs at my heart strings! Furcraea foetida 'Mediopicta' I've loved, and lost, 3 of these...

At $54.99 I managed to walk away, again.

This color combo is so so so good!

Even though I don't actually care for either of the plants on their own.

Silly sign, but fun none-the-less...

Okay here's what I finally bought (so refined, can you even imagine?...if it had been June and not September I would have gone so so crazy!)...
