Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Willow Tree Gardens and Interiors Part One

Willow Tree had it's Christmas open house from November first through fifteenth.  I went on the last day of the event and will share some of the always beautiful decorations later but today, let's see what's going on outside.

all perennials are on sale at 50% off and these agaves were among them but had no I.D. tags.  Any ideas? This one has a cool leaf pattern and is in a two gallon pot.

At five bucks, this sweetie would be a steal but again no name.  

Play with us!

Also very tempting!
 Heavy metal man.  I didn't notice the nice-sized specimens of our native sword fern until after looking at the pictures.  These are evergreen and will grow in deep dry shade where little else is happy.  I wonder if they'd tolerate bamboo roots?

A ray of sunshine in the gloom.

Okay, a couple of  pictures from inside.  Love this unintentional combination.  So many possible interpretations.

Just when I'd decided on my holiday party attire for this year, my hopes were dashed to find that it didn't come in my size.


Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  See you in advent.

    Such a fun place, and those Agaves really are a steal, even without names. You would have looked smashing in that gold outfit!

      I have so many agaves already but these were smallish. The gold would look even nicer on you!

    That first agave may be A. impressa.

    Now these are fall colors! (I'll say utahensis v. nevadensis for the second agave.)

      I so admire those of you who know so much about agaves. I know the names of those I have but throw something unfamiliar at me and I'm lost. Thanks!

    You are too young to remember 'Sparkle Plenty' from the old Dick Tracy cartoons but I think that outfit was made for her.

    Oxalis must be one smart weed. It always seems to gravitate towards pots of the sharpest agaves.
