Well, I finally got a chance to visit a nearby nursery I'd been wanting to check out for a while, and I was not disappointed! I was hoping to find a few new-to-me cold hardy succulent varieties...and I came home with SEVENTEEN! How did that happen??? My blog title says it all, I guess. And WHERE am I going to plant them all? Oh well, I could be spending my money on booze or cigarettes...
So I thought I'd show you them. I'll stick to just a few today..
While I am not a big cactus fan, two species made it home with me. I bought two of these spineless Echinocereus, one for me and one for a friend. Trying to ID them to species level...any thoughts? These will probably be planted in cactus & succulents troughs we are in the process of creating...hmm, that could be a blog post right there...

They look like they will be easy to propagate, judging by the number of offsets present. Hopefully those orange rust-looking spots won't become an issue...
Also got this Opuntia fragilis. And fragile it is, I managed to break off two pieces on the way home. This one is supposed to stay small, and will also be planted in my trough. Normally I am not an Opuntia fan at all (hate those glochids, and the big ones look so ugly all winter in this climate), but this one appealed to me. We'll see how it does....

Enough new plants for today, hope you enjoy.
