Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Very nice garden pics.
Your climate must be very dry to have that many desert plants and have them look so good,

Hi Josef
Your montana is amazing. So big! I never seen a large one like that in Europe, but in Palmhunter in Belgium. Comes from import, right?
I have 3 of them here in Paris, France since 2 years. They are 5 years old, and damn they are very cold resistant and they can manage tons of water during winter. Maybe as hardy as a A. neomexicana or havardiana.
Great choice 😉

Hi and thanks for reply.

Brrrr.... That looks cold, we had snow back in early oct., but has long ago melted. 😀
I had a montana for 2-3 years. It did not like wet winters, and not very cold hardy when young. 🙂

Josef until your snow and cold arrived, your November weather looked so warm/sunny.
You don't ever cover the agaves and young rostratas?
The crowns would stay wet/snow all winter? Or if it's a dry cold is it safer for the crowns?
Spectacular as always Josef.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
