Tex - thank you for the website. The selection of natives looks great. I'll have to find other people to go in with me. Buying in lots of 25 is a little bit high for our acre. I can see DH's face if I tell him we have 75 new shrubs to plant. BTW I went on a garden tour in Corrales a month ago. It's about 15 miles from us, but a completely different landscape. No chamisa, cholla or yucca constricta. But sand sage is everywhere! I thought of you as I looked at whole hillsides of it. Shooting the rats isn't an option. I'm sure we'd be arrested if anyone thought we were firing off guns. I have terrible eyesight so I'm not touching a gun any time. Sandyslopes - I would not put out poison. There is too much wildlife here and we depend on ground water for survival. I'm not going to trap the rats and move them to some other unfortunate person's land. But honestly I can't think of a single good reason to keep the rats alive. They're very destructive. DH's car repair ran to almost $3000. They harbor all kind of other pests like fleas and ticks. They're probably food for predators but there are lots of other prey, like the hundreds of rabbits on our property. I'm considering putting out water, if only to keep my plants alive. We already keep water out for the birds in the walled garden. The deer have completely wiped out our apricots, cherries and grapes. They check on the apples regularly. We see whole families grazing on our land. I doubt this is just for water. This is a harsh climate and I don't blame them for taking what is available. But eating six wine cups, three agastaches and several poppies and coneflowers we had planted in painstakingly amended caliche is more than I can tolerate. Cheryl

Hey I have some adenium seeds I got from someone in India, but Im not really into adeniums... I've also got a few "saplings" of a plumeria that I found it Haiti! Well, I found the seeds and they grew really quick. The flowers are not very fragrant but they're pretty. The leaves are different than most plumeria too. I only know because I gave some seedlings to some friends who planted them in their yards and they look really good. But mine have been in a pot for many years and they're only as thick as a pencil, but 2-3 feet tall. I'd be happy to cut them and send you the tops... mabye you can even ID them and get them to grow Real big! The bark gets really corky too! Not smooth like most plumeria. Do you like Kalanchoes? I've got several different types... Including baharensis. I'd be interested in the following: Echinocactus texensis 'horse crippler' Barrel cactus Astrophylum Asetias Echinopsis Nocturre 'shick' Mammilaria prolifera Do you know what type of "barrel cactus" it is? Oh... I've also got small "Flapjack Plant" - Kalanchoe thyrsiflora Let me know. Paul

It definitely does come from seed, but loses the virus that makes it compact and gives it the variegation. It cam be overwintered in a cool, sunny, dryish greenhouse. It will drop its leaves, only to revive in the spring when the weather breaks.
