Re: Succulents

Ann, Judy,

   I second the recommendation of Dry Garden, but would like
   to mention some other specialist nurseries in N.Bay:
     Neon Palm, Sebastopol - agaves, furcraeas, and tons of palms
     Lone Pine, Sebastopol - great collection of small succulents
                             and bonsai
     Great Petaluma Desert, Petaluma - cactii and rare succulents

   I don't know that any of those would actually have the agave
   you are looking for (call ahead), but all are fun to visit.

   And when all else fails, there's always www.froogle.com, where
   a search for "agave ocahui" located a source (www.cabrillonets.com)
   that ships.

Happy hunting,
