Why haven’t I been blogging? At first I didn’t know the answer, but then I uploaded the above photo of a newly transplanted echinopsis. It is betwist and between a couple of agaves. And it’s quite possible you can’t make that out because the resolution of the iPhone isn’t up to snuff for a garden blog. And, that must be why I haven’t been blogging… without superior pics the words just dried up.

Several efforts this winter to move container palnts into good spots in the ground. I’ll let you know if this Echinopsis x. Los Angeles enjoys the more spacious digs. (arh arh)
