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.

Keith,
the 51 pics on your Flickr link made me drool...fabulous!
Where the plants were labeled, was that in a botanical garden?
Fabulous palms, cacti, agaves, and yuccas...holy cow those yuccas are nice.
Too bad about that fried Beaucarnea on pic 603, obviously pretty tender.
Agave size on #523 is impressive!!! wow.
And the blue palms, guessing those were Brahea armata...gorgeous.
By the way, did any of those palm seeds make it into your pocket? Ahem 😉
Thanks for this! 😀
Barb

Yes that picture was from Tucson. Could you tell by the mountains in the distance.

That and the kind of plants. They plant lots of afghan pines in Tucson. 😀

I was a bit confused as to what these plants were but judging by the the feathery tufts at the end of the leaves they look like Dasylirions?
Great pics anyway 😀 What were the max/mins while you were there Hasty?

Thanks Barb Yes it was a botanical garden with the labeled plants. Most of the agaves were huge. Also loved the blue palms. And I was tempted about the palm seeds, tried to convince wife to put a few in pocket while going thru airport. lol
The weather was a little cooler at first lows near 0C highs 16 C. The last 3 days was around 6C low to a high of 22C and full sun.

That's what they are, Dasylirion wheeleri. One of my all time favorite plants, love the trunks one those. Thicker than most yucca trunks. 😀

Mine too. 😛 😛 😛
Anybody ever grown them from seed?
EDIT: RPS hasn't got seeds listed for sale. Have never seen any listed.
Probably because they're hard to find?

Found this PDN offering & where they collected the seed in AZ (Aaron, start the car ???? 😆 )
This variety apparently trunks, which is spectacular.

Barb,
I though you had some D. wheeleri seedlings a year or two ago? I'll check my stock.....I may have some? If so I'll mail them to you. 🙂

I had forgotten that; good memory Tim
They came up, and promptly fell over and died in the heat.
The others did too, think they were y.schotii?
Thanks for the ebay link Keith.
Will look for just the dasy 'coz I've got seedpots coming out of the rafters.

Yup Tim, and look at how many I had, the entire community pot failed.
I'm so mad at my inattention to these:
