I have 4 large Aloes and several small Aloe plants  My Aloe’s bloom in the Spring and put off a tall yellow spike.  If the winter is cold they sometimes put off double spikes in the Spring.  The Mexican Petunia’s make a beautiful low border and are easily divided.  They withstood our drought last year and bloomed profusely.  The Spider Lilies do very well also and love full sun and lots of water.

I’m very interested in butterfly and hummingbird gardening and continue to add both host and nectar plants to my collection.  Would love to meet other gardeners with similar interest so I can get some good tips on what plants do best in our neighborhood for a small garden.

If you are interested in doing a pre-trade please contact me at clraig@comcast.net .  Thanks for taking time to view my information.
