Scottsdale, AZ
About me: Hi there,
I live and work in the resort city of Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona.
I garden indoors and out and have done so since I was ten years old. I have various house plants plus also collect adeniums, Sansevierias, stapeliads, clivias, Schlumbergeras, and a few other things, plus the usual goodies. Outside I try to embrace the semi-tropical desert climate here with some citrus trees, succulents, desert shade trees and hardy sub tropicals. I am a gardening addict, indoors and out. I love to talk plants and gardening.

My zone is: USDA Z9 Scottsdale AZ
