I think those Ocotillos are really “mock-otillos”, aka _Alluaudia procera_ from Madagascar. But I like these better than the native ocotillo. Alluaudia grow very tall, also called Lemur Food. 😂 Bc it really is lemur food. They climb all over it and use the spines as handles or as a ladder. Somehow they never poke themselves. And people eat the leaves too. I never have but I’ve eaten its cousin-Elephant Food, _Portulacaria afra_ if you can believe they’re related. Tastes like lemon and is high in vit C. You wouldn’t think they’re related but the little round leaves are similar I think.
Ah, man, that was one cool nursery! Lots of variety...the catus and succulent section was huge! Very dangerous place! Lol.. Thanks for inviting us along
I might have to take a daytrip from San Diego!! Lol. The Peperomia scandens variegata for $8 is so good. Strangely, I never see it for sale anywhere down here. I had a small one from Smart & Final. Never seen it ANYWHERE else, not even big box stores or nurseries. I guess Armstrong would have it, ya know, for $100. Lol jk. And online, or on Etsy, it’s so expensive for some reason! 😡 🙄
Oh, yeah, that ledebouria socialis was beautiful! I used to grow them and they make a wonderful carefree clump with interesting flowers, and the cynanchum marnierianum is a must have Patrick🙌💞I enjoyed watching🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That was dangerous. lol. Thanks for going for me. I would have spent too much. ❤
I love your nursery visits 💕💕

Make sure you dovetail your daytrip with a visit to Rosales in Long Beach. Not far away and DEFINITELY worth it!!!
