Just a few things that surprised me since the snow is finally melted.... Three potted plants seemed to have made it despite all odds. Aloe ecklonis, and my potted agave (either montana, perryii or utahensis).

Jesse I'm not sure what we're supposed to see in pictures 1 and 4. Unfortunately the Agave that I see in picture 2 looks rotten, the Fargesia looks good!

The first picture is the aloe ecklonis. I was using my cell phone so you cant really see the proper colour. The whole bottom half is still green and its been exposed for a week or two.
I managed to get the nitida up here in the back of a truck. Its a 12 hour drive from toronto to here lol. Humber was amazing. They had a crazy selection. They had some massive P nigra and a bunch of musella for sale. Some P aurea too.

Like you like 😆 the Humber Nurseries. I love it too! I have a few variegated BB and the Maurelli bought there a couple of years ago. 9 year ago I passed an interview to be a consultant at the water plants section but never work there... Much better to be a customer there 8)

I didnt even get a chance to see half of that place. I went mostly in the tree/shrub area and the tropical plants. Only had a little bit of time because we were on the road back up here.
Cant wait to get it all planted.
