You would definitely do a better job translating, but you can't be expected to write posts both in Spanish AND English.

I enjoyed talking to Sean and he suggested I wait till it is cooler to put in a mail order. I found a local nursery Zone 9 Tropical very near me that grows some of the plants I saw at Cistus. They have a Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei) on hold for me. And Cistus is on my list of places to visit next time I fly into Portland to visit family in Eugene. www.ravenscourtgardens. comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352192526462955088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-77641316405078082972014-09-06T01:58:03.172-07:002014-09-06T01:58:03.172-07:00Two months ago already??

We still have vivid memories of our visit there, it was such good fun! <br /><br />Going back to Portland and Cistus in a car, you're in for a shopping treat and I can imagine a space in the boot is already reserved for a Yucca. We so want to go back again now.

It would be fun to do that but she would have to keep my plants and plant them in her garden, hehehe.

Davis Arboretum in the 90's before they emigrated to Portland, so Sean is familiar with our town of Davis. You'll have to ask him about it the next time you're up in Portland.
