Thank you both for the guesses and pictures. @ pirate_girl- I was going to post i.d's for the rest, but I was short on time. Here are there I.D's in order from first picture to last. pic-1 the Aloe in question pic-2 Pacyhveria gtauca pic-3 Aloe descoingsii x Gasteria caespitosa pic-4 Agave parrasana pic-5 Mammillaria senilis pic-6 Echeveria Lola pic-7 Agave fillifera ssp. schidigera "White Stripe" pic-8 Aloe ciliaris pic-9 Aloe "Pink Blush" pic-10 no I.D Aloe hybrid pic-11 Aloe "Lime Fizz" pic-12 Aloe "Christmas Carol" pic-13 Aloe "White Fox" pic-14 Aloe "Twilight Zone" pic-15 Echeveria "Perle Von Nurnberg pic-16 Agave utahensis "Nevada" pic-17 no I.D's pic-18 Aloe Vera

"I thought the stone pine, the cedars, Vitis vinifera, the fig-trees and some of the cypresses you mentioned were native to this Mediterranean area and not introduced by men here" The Mediterranean is a large area; most of the species Tunilla names are only native to small parts of it, not the whole area. Stone Pine Pinus pinea: definitely native in Portugal, and southern & central Spain only. Other populations likely naturalised from ancient human cultivation. Lebanon Cedar Cedrus libani: naitve in the Atlas Mountains (subsp. atlantica) and Turkey to Lebanon (subsp. libani). Mediterranean Cypress Cupressus sempervirens: native to Crete, southern Turkey, and Cyrenaica (Libya) only. All populations north of the Med and west of Crete are cultivated origin. Vitis vinifera is the exception in being native across almost the entire Med. Resin

That Viburnum has a big, broad prominently veined leaf, like that of V. davidii (but appearing broader relative to its length.) In fact, it is sometimes sold as that species by mistake. V. cylindricum also produces large leaves, although more flat, flabby and tie-like, without its venation being such a feature. Plants seen here have also tended to produce leaves with a grayish cast, although this appears to be variable. It is on the tender side, I grew it about yard high before it froze out on Camano Island. There was a large, persisting one in a Bellevue garden that is probably still present. Although seen as a low mound when present in local outlets, V. propinquum has been known to make tall plants on the University of Washington campus. The Lynwood Fred Meyer also has an eye-level planting of V. davidii; it grew nearly as tall or nearly so at my house near Seattle some years ago. I took this planting out, as it had become too much for a narrowish foundation bed. V. cinnamomifolium soon forms a pointed top and grows tall, rather than mounding up over a long period of time. One here on Camano is already becoming pointed after only a few years (and at less than a few feet in height).

said in your tree sapling ID post... a free plant.. usually .. most of the time.. rarely turns into a valuable plant ... and when you find the 100th one.. you will know why .. lol ... in this post.. the only thing i see of value.. is the vinca .. periwinkle ... ken
