Thrilled that the border didn't confiscate them!
Nice to know that some stuff can get through.

Thank you, thank you!!!!!

These guys are sooooo pretty, I'd build a plexiglass roof over them.

Thanks folks.
The picture doesn't do 'em justice...they are soooooo pretty.

Cool how they get their serration and filaments while fairly young.
Some plants take so long to resemble their species...not these babies.

Looking forward to planting them out come spring...

I'm sure you know but keep them on the cold side until spring or they'll get leggy. 8)

Yessirreeee!

Excellent Keith!
They do germinate readily from what I recall.
Just don't let them dry out in the summer like I did.
They baked in our south-facing sun...should've put them in morning sun only.

Maybe I can trade you something for one or two next summer?

Very Nice they look really healthy. I have a yucca nana in my cacti bed it was planted almost 2 years ago.
