Too many things just came in the door yesterday and today to take pictures of all of them, so instead I’ll just have to tell you about them and share these three images.
Carnivorous plants: sundew, venus fly traps, pitcher plants, and water hyacinth, too.
Cacti & succulents: haworthia, echevaria, colorful grafted cacti, several different sedum and crassula varieties as well.
Lots of herbs and vegeetables in stock for the first time this season: bak choi, watermelon, curry, tarragon, three kinds of mint, and lots of big flowering lavendar which is making the entire yard smell delicious, etc. . .
And they’re going fast, but I’ll mention them anyway because so many people have been asking about them. . . the mosquito’s least favorite plant, the Geranium Citrosa! Rub a little on your skin and repel bugs the natural way.
