It might be the first time in history that I didn’t stab myself on this Yucca whipplei<\/a>, but I was determined to snap photos and not sustain\u00a0injuries–or pull weeds. It’s mushy in\u00a0the garden. Even Pumpkin declined her invitation for a walkabout.<\/p>\n

Several plants were holding their own, and it\u00a0gave me heart. I’m always sure I’ve lost everything.<\/p>\n

\"Arctostaphylos<\/a>
Arctostaphylos glandulosa ‘Rogue Gem’<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This Rogue Gem Manzanita was a stick in a 2″ pot when I got it. I transplanted it from the former garden, and it’s putting on new growth. It’s about 12″ X 14″ now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Agave<\/a>

I’ve lost track of this Agave species name, but I bet\u00a0someone knows. Another transplant that’s looking okay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dasylirion<\/a>

I managed to keep my fingers out of the center of this Dasylirion, but it wasn’t easy. I need to get out there with long tweezer. Hope this guy makes it. Looks a little iffy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ophiopogon<\/a>
Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The black mondo grass looks good. I keep thinking I’ll divide it. But it’s amazing how fast\u00a0my intentions fade when it’s cold and wet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sedum<\/a>

Loving this little healthy sedum. It was a late fall addition from Xera Plants<\/a>. Apparently, I did not record the name.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Eriobotrya<\/a>

The Loquat has spots. Is that okay? I take it as a good sign\u00a0that it’s holding onto its leaves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Schefflera<\/a>

Fingers crossed on the Shefflera. Weather gods, don’t fail us now.<\/p>\n
