Each one has their own unique character. The only thing better would be a Fig Tree or Banyan Tree.

(hubby goes there more). I will make a point of visiting this nearby plant nursery as soon as I can. I will remember to email or call ahead to make sure Ernesto is available and the business is open that day. Thanks for pointing out the Mexican Oregano. I did not know what this beautiful plant is. I see it used in shopping strip landscaping and had no idea what it was.....M in san Antonionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-15602355435591770332013-10-21T15:55:40.468-05:002013-10-21T15:55:40.468-05:00Now that you have family in the area that might be...Now that you have family in the area that might be a good plan since there's so much to see out that way.Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-28319646318884355412013-10-21T15:54:07.313-05:002013-10-21T15:54:07.313-05:00The rock with sedum is pretty and I think it was c...The rock with sedum is pretty and I think it was chiseled out to allow more room for the plants. The yellow in the photos is from goldenrod which I do not have.

I'm in love with the sedum growing out of the boulder. It gives the look of moss which we can't grow. Is the yellow plant on the left in the last photo the same fall blooming salvia that you have. How is yours doing? I'd dearly love to know what plants y'all brought home!

Although, I can't imagine anyone bringing in caliche to their property on purpose! :) Looks like a beautiful and wonderful nursery.

It was such a pleasure to meet Ernesto and learn from him. I'm glad that there are people like him who want to preserve plants that might not be around for other generations to enjoy. I'm looking forward to watching the plants grow that I bought from Ernesto and remembering our fun trip!Melodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-65481658273554359822013-10-21T03:27:43.260-05:002013-10-21T03:27:43.260-05:00Love that patio Shirley, with the palms, fountain ...Love that patio Shirley, with the palms, fountain overlooking Medina river!Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.com
