What's New In the Garden

2-18-2001

Went to town with Mom and we made the mistake of stopping at Rowlands!  I did good, though . . . I spent less than $50.00! <G>  Here's what I got:

Adromischus var

Aluminum plant

African Violets - (2) - Optimara "Tradition" - pink/green/white mottled leaves with medium pink flowers.  The other one had no tag; it's got cream speckles on the edges of the leaves and the flowers are ruffled purple with white edging.

Irisene - don't know much about this - will have to research it.  Looks almost the same as the hot pink plant I have that came from Angel Exotics.

Dracaena var - looks like a D. warneckii, almost

Lispstick plant

Birdsnest Cactus - Mammalaria camptotricha - 2-1/4" wide

Indian Corn Cob cactus - Euphorbia mammalaria "variegata" - 3-1/4" tall

Pincushion Cactus - Mammalaria var - hot pink flowers - 2" tall x 2-1/4" wide

Golden Ball Cactus - Notocactus leninhausii - 1" tall x 1-3/4" wide

Barrel Cactus - Ferocactus var - looks like the Mexican Barrel I had in Phoenix - 3-1/2" tall (to the top of the spines)

Rose Plaid Cactus - Gymnocalycium "Mihanorichii" - 2-1/4" wide

Pilea variety
