| Bachs is fabulous, you could literally spend hours there. In the Phoenix area, I'd suggest stopping by P & M in Scottsdale (a little like visiting the DBG), Old West Cactus Farm in north Phoenix (lots of interesting little oddballs in the shade-houses -- the place is enormous), and an intimate little place in Apache Junction called Shady Way Gardens. |

| Thanks for the pointers to the Phoenix-area ones, GS - I've not been to all three of those. Zech, Starr Nurseries, too, for Agaves and other tasty things, too. But definitely call first to him and to Miles before you go there. |

| There are other places I would recommend for Agaves specifically, or for Aloes or Yuccas; the three I mentioned are the best places I've found in the VOTS to shop cacti, in particular. You have to stop by Shady Way, I don't believe it's far at all from your snow bird residence. It's a tiny little place, but they always have interesting stuff I've never seen elsewhere, which earns them high marks from this reviewer. ;-) |

| Forgot to mention - Arid Adaptations Nursery in N Tucson. Never been, but have heard great things about it, and they are not far from Miles' place. Call for hours. |

| Desert Foothills is the best spot in the VOTS for Agaves, Aloes, and Yuccas. Saguaro is/was a nice spot, but they're off my list since they're only open Mon-Fri now, and yeah I made that discovery the hard way -- after a 50 minute drive. |
