Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Plant Peregrination

Well, it’s going to be another plant post. Sorry. When I’m at home and have free time, I’m either on the couch, or on my lanai, and posting about my couch time wouldn’t be very interesting.

I escaped my couch for a while yesterday to drive upcountry and look at plants. My first stop was the Rainbow Acres Cactus and Succulent Nursery.

They have a great selection, and I love how knowledgeable the workers are. I have asked several questions, and I always get great answers. Yesterday, I also got a graptosedum. It is bright orange, and I hope it stays that way. Often, with a change in light or temperature or water frequency, succulents will change color.

Before I went back down the mountain, I decided I’d make a quick stop at Kula Hardware, where I resisted buying a dwarf ohia tree, and 3rd Day Nursery, where I did not resist buying a weird succulent with bumps and hairs and cute yellow flowers.

    Thank you for the vocabulary lesson. What is the meaning of the word peregrine?
    : having a tendency to wander.

    Erg……cutting and pasting that seems to have wrecked my keyboard. Imagine that I put that in quotes.

    Sounds like a delightful Saturday! I am glad you got to experience plants in different Happy Places!

      Hehe… Sometimes my desire for alliterative titles sends me to the thesaurus.
