Can't even begin to list all the plants I'd want to bring home. So glad for this awesome tour - now I know to plan for at least half a day there. Oh, and I wish you luck with the sempervivum, which are sempermortuum in the summer heat at my place :~( Likewise Dudleya brittonii, sad to say. The one pictured above is absolutely breathtaking.Luisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042236324318156854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-52643644353278585732017-03-21T22:24:50.376-07:002017-03-21T22:24:50.376-07:00What a fun field trip!

How interesting that you are challenged by Semps, which are so easy for us and so many other parts of the country.
