RE: SoCal

The Lowes and Home Depot places do pretty well for the standard run of the
mill stuff, and they are definitely getting better at carrying more
interesting perennials. I know the place on Pearblossom you visited; haven't
bought anything there myself since I go down to Mexico about once a year and
buy all the same terra-cotta and concrete for about a quarter of the cost.
Of course there's the gas to get there and back, but I make up for it with
buying for all my friends and adding a little surcharge. 
There's a very nice cactus place in Pasadena I stop at when we go to
Huntington Gardens but alas, most of their inventory isn't hardy in my area.
Their arrangements are spectacular though. I haven't visited Theodore Payne
- a well known native nursery - but I'm planning on going in March.
And the RenFair lost their lease, I heard. I'll miss that.

Oh my, Cyndi.
 Don't expect me to remember names. I wasn't looking for exotics or
specimens, just some reliable, thrive on neglect, goodies for their new
home. There was a place on the Pearblossom hiway that had neat pots &
fountains. I also had great fun at the Lancaster Home Depot while the guys
looked for hardware & building stuff. We drove over the mountains to a
RenFair one summer and stopped at a couple out in the high desert. In South
CA, there's a very cool cactus & succulent Nursery near the Lawrence Welk
Resort. There were others, but these are the ones I vaguely remember
locations on. Judy B z 6 Idaho
