The majority of these are caudiciforms and euphorbias that I just received. {{gwi:448901}}{{gwi:448902}}{{gwi:448904}}{{gwi:448905}}{{gwi:448906}}{{gwi:448908}}{{gwi:448909}}{{gwi:448910}}{{gwi:448911}}{{gwi:448912}}{{gwi:448913}}{{gwi:448914}}{{gwi:448915}}{{gwi:448917}}

    I had to stop by the warehouse and had my camera so I took a few pics. I didn't get much because it was too damn cold in the coolers! Here's some roses and proteas:{{gwi:448929}}{{gwi:448930}}{{gwi:448931}}

    As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." LOL! I do love the last set of pictures with the roses, in particular the one with all the greenish roses (reminded me of cabbages) and the close up of the green rose with some reddish coloring in the middle -- great shots Karyn!

    Eloise, finally a response that I expected! lol Many of the plants that I collect would certainly not be called beautiful. Odd, weird and even ugly is more like it. I'm more interested in plants that aren't commonly seen. I do collect a good deal of classically beautiful plants that have spectacular foliage and/or blooms but probably have more "unusual" varieties.

    One day soon I'll have to stop by the warehouse and take pics of lots of the cut flowers and plants. I was just too cold to stay in the coolers for more then a few minutes. I don't know how their pickers can stand it. I'm so bad that I sit in the office and use the security cameras to view what I want DH to bring home. lol I did like those weird green ruffled garden roses but they were a bit too expensive. DH's cost on those is almost $4 per stem. Your standard Charlotte or Cherry Love (reds) are anywhere from 14 to 40 cents, depending on length and time of year. It's not just because of a holiday that prices go up, it's availability. Farms don't have much time between Christmas and Valentine's to produce a flower to cutting size.

    LOL Karyn, glad you didn't take it personal! Wow, that is an expensive rose ($4/stem), but beautiful. Do you know the name? Most likely they don't grow here. That's too funny you using the security cameras to 'shop'!
