I went to a local plant place yesterday. They always have a big selection, and some rare offerings. One of the workers there asked me if he could help me. I told him I’ve been looking for a crested aeonium, and he actually knew what it was. He asked another guy at the store, who also knew what it was. I was so impressed! They said they do get them occasionally, and took my name and number so they could contact me if one came in.
I usually am slow to get anything new, because I have so many plants already, but they had a haworthia that was almost white. It was amazing! I couldn’t NOT get it!
Having a new plant gave me an excuse to do some re-potting when I got home. I did several things.
You might have made their day with your rare request. “A guy came in looking for a crested aeonium – can you believe it??”
Plant nerds. 😀
