I got a bunch of plants from them recently and was pretty happy with my order over all. They were all bare root and are still dormant though so the jury is still out. The only one that isn't looking great is a Cerepegia stapeleformis which is starting to look sort of rotten at the top. But just as likely from something I did to it. Here is a picture of my order after I unpacked it.

Posted by jojosplants >As far a R~ goes, I don't think he's unhappy with the selection at Arid lands. It's more a case of unhappy with our likes in plants! >See, he HATES any thing in the "Crassulaceae" family, (did I word that right?) Anything like what I posted,the crasulla , Jades and such. He shows up with his rather RUDE comments like in this post to voice his dislike! >Last summer many of us were sharring Jade pictures and he left some rather nasty comments in those threads.They were sadly refereed to as "boring" and he was tired of us posting them.. so I think that's what's behind his little comment. Actually I AM unhappy with the new selections at Aridlands. They are mostly Aloes and, yes Crassulaceae. I'm afraid they're not paying due attention to Euphorbias :) As I've said before, I think it's great that people get interested in minor variations in plants, for example Jades. I have six clones of Opuntia fragilis, including one from my home county in Wisconsin :) Jojo, I don't hate Crassulaceae. I have a couple of species of Adromischus, one Sedum, lots of Sempervivum, a couple of Kalanchoe, and have killed a few Tylecodons :(. But it does seem to me that there are two different audiences for this thread, the first being people who ask "can I root a Jade Plant from a leaf?" and the second who don't. -R

Hi Everyone, Thank you all for the kind words! Sally, I'm familer with the mall, but so far everything i've seen online, I can find at Arid lands. minime~ There is no way you can "window" shop there! LOL! 5-6 beauties, sounds fair. ;) next time your in town give me a yell. :) Yes, the people are wonderful! I could sit and talk all day with Toni! My son loves playing with their dogs. They bring him their frisby. :) It's just the owners and a few helpers, so you can be sure you'll be well taken care of. Tom~ I know what you mean! LOL! I'm very careful, don't take alot of cash and dont own a CC. ;) I make a list from their web first, and then grab one thing that's not on the list. ;) I too love the Euphorbia. Thanks. :) The pattern is amazing on it! It's about 3" tall. Anxious to see it grow. Al~ Always good to see you. :) I'll be busy next week moving everyone into gritty mix, wanna help? ;) lol.. Josh~ Hello! and Thanks. :) The Scilla is awsome! Kinda like your naked lady. It just glistens! Toni brought it from the "holding" greenhouse, I guess I'm the first to see it, and of coars, "Sold"! lol.. It had to come home with me. The Adenium are so cute and little! caudex is about 2-3", and healthy and beautiful! So you like my nails? LOL! I'm not sure why my finger is in the pic. :) I do my own art work, and that is mellow! they get pretty wild. lol! Hi Pug! I'm not sure about other Hoya's, but will look into it. ;) need a few more myself. I love heart shapes, so Kerii had to come home with me. Mike~ Thanks. ;) The Ghost is really nice! A tall one. Yes, a little more confident. ;) Thanks so much for all you do! And to Josh, and Nancy too. ;) The Epithelantha polycephala~ can be kinda fickle/fragile in the winter, so hope I do O.K. with that one. Deburn~Thank you! Yes, unusual. You wont find any of these plants in a big box store. Hi Linda!~ I'm having to be careful so as to not go broke. ;) I probably wont go back till after christmas. They are very strong, healthy plants. They are grown in a huge greenhouse, so plenty of air, and sun. ;) it is covered in winter to protect from frost. To shop there, you shop in a greenhouse, not a building or store, it's fun! Hi Jeff! This is my first time having Albuca, so i'm anxious to see it bloom! The little flower to the Ornithogalum tennifolium, is neat, it's green, and will open and close for a few days, today 3 are open. "Haul Discout" lol.. These were actually bought over the summer, several trips, bringing a few home each time. ;) My computer acted up all summer and eventually crashed, so I couldn't post as I got them. :) I just got it back a few weeks ago. I read about the Kleinia stapeliiformis in the book you sent me. (many thanks again!) and really wanted it. :) Toni had it. LOL! Thanks again everyone! After Christmas, I'm getting out to see Miles, owner of Miles 2 go. :) He's also spoken very highly around GW, and Toni of Aird lands speaks highly of him too. :) JoJo

Glasshouse works. There is another place to keep my credit card away from. I used to get their print catalog every year but I am ashamed to say that even though I have suggested them to many people, I have never ordered from them. I really have a hard time ordering plants online because I like to look at the plant that I am buying, smell the soil, tug at leaves, look at new growth, compare weight of pots, and such. I also love the human aspect of plant shopping. I think it's the same reason I hate going through self checker lines. I used to drive 50 miles to go to about 20 different nurseries once or twice a week. Plant nuts like to talk about plants with anybody that will discuss them. It's an addiction.
