They love to surprise us.<br />RBell- I wonder what other surprises we will be in for. Hope the new leaves harden off before winter sets in.<br />Bob- i sometimes toy with the idea of having only cactus and agaves but I just love lots of flowers. I am trying to convert the front to a cactus/agave bed to reduce the work load.<br />Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-57429529725232984162010-09-17T19:32:20.745-07:002010-09-17T19:32:20.745-07:00I am a foliage lover!

And must remember that name Grandfather's Pipe for Diana's Callisia. She passed some along to me, too.

Yeah, I don't really do those either, as they require too much water in our climate. But I do like your pepper and sweet potato vine combo.<br /><br />Great foliage selections in your post today.
