I fell hard for Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea' a few years ago and tried one in my garden. Alas, I soon found out it isn't hardy in Austin either.

Junipers often get a bad rap and there are some beauties out there. Your A. bracteosa is delightfully squid-like. I love it when they are really curvy: I got A. bracteosa 'Calmar" at Cistus precisely for its curves. And I think I see an acacia collection in your future...MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-82906317134286458832012-03-16T19:06:50.028-07:002012-03-16T19:06:50.028-07:00You have a talent for grouping plants together.

I love that feeling when you finally manage to track down a plant you have been looking for for ages. <br /><br />I bought what I thought was a Euphorbia stygiana about 6 years ago and it grew really well (6 foot tall by 6 foot wide), but was then cruelly cut down twice by our Arctic winters. However, it came back last year and it is now 2 foot tall. I recently found out that it is actually a Euphorbia pasteurii. Whatever it is it is a lovely looking plant and proven to be extremely root hardy.Adam Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-14180511298210455932012-03-16T12:48:50.797-07:002012-03-16T12:48:50.797-07:00I need that euphorbia for my front yard!
