WIND WOLVES PRESERVE Work party dates: Apr 14, May 12, June 9. RANCHO SANTA ANA BOTANICAL GARDEN Well, we did not get to RSABG early enough to buy much there. The members were there clamoring for the 0900 sale @ 0800. For the items we did not get, we can consider their autumn sale which is 4x as large, in early Nov. We did go to Theo. Payne first and got Pat 3 plants, Lessingia, low growing ground covers that can live at 8000 ft. But, alas, it is an annual we just discovered! We did purchase: Keckiella, red Calliandra, Hyptis, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Ornithostaphylos, Galvezia. There was only one Dudleya -- hassei, so I got one small one, (opposed to $22.50) in case it was not desired/liked. Also bought a tiny plant recommended by the nursery woman - Sidalcea stipularis. Most disappointed I was not able to find the apricot mallow, one of my personal favorites! Lynn McDonald |
