Do you ever play that game? I hope so, that I’m not just some nutty outlier. I’m going to guess you do, at least once in a while. Though I stand ready and willing to be corrected.<\/p>\n

Sometimes to make the game more\u00a0manageable, I try narrowing to just one genus. That doesn’t really work either, but it’s fun to try, like imagining what to\u00a0do with a winning lottery ticket. Look out neighbors: your yards are getting resprayed.<\/p>\n

I so love Eryngium agavifolium<\/a>. I almost think I could chose it as my\u00a0favorite, at least in its own category. Of course, a nice\u00a0mix of texture can\u00a0really make an individual shine.<\/p>\n

I love it. Big. Small. In between. L.O.V.E. \u00a0It transplants nicely too.\u00a0The plant below was moved\u00a0from my Alameda garden. No problemo.<\/p>\n

\"Medium-sized<\/a>

Here are some new plants\u00a0Amy Campion<\/a> gave me over the winter, perfectly happy.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
