Starting with January 2010, what I’ve seen, what I’ve grown, what I’m still growing…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 2010<\/a> Agave ‘Mr. Ripple’ photo by MB Maher — I have one pup left from this massive beast of an agave that will forever remain caged in a container<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"ramus2\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2010<\/a> restio Thamnochortus insignis. I drifted away from restios for years because of their eventual ginormity but this winter returned to the fold with 4 one-gallon Chondropetalum tectorum, the so-called dwarf cape rush. Miscanthus and muhly grasses were moved to give this restio a spin as possibly a better companion for winter-blooming aloes than grasses that need a cutback.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

January 2011 Agave guadalajarana<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

January 2012 Ozothamnus ‘Sussex Silver’ — also in the garden 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"P1015828\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2013<\/a> Agave stricta at UCBG at Berkeley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"P1012064\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2014<\/a> Acacia merinthophora, the Zigzag Wattle — in my own garden Acacia podalyrifolia is at peak bloom with Acacia baileyana ‘Purpurea’ budded up and ready to go in a couple more weeks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"P1011870<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2014<\/a> Shrub-like Helleborus argutifolius was a constant presence for years, an exuberant reseeder. There’s a couple small seedlings under Grevillea ‘Moonlight’ but too small to bloom this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"P1011621\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2014<\/a> Coronilla valentina subsp. glauca, growing up a tuteur. Its seedlings are about 2-3 feet tall — so difficult to capture its rue-like beauty in photos. Xera Plants carried the variegated coronilla in 2020 and hopefully will again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"P1012792\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2015<\/a> dramatic giant Aeonium ‘Cyclops’ — this January the aeoniums are represented by small offsets of species tabuliforme, pseudotabuliforme and a leggy ‘Zwartkop’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"1-P1010270\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2016<\/a> Melianthus ‘Purple Haze’ in better days — since being moved (twice!) to hide its decline in appearance in August it has declined overall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"1-P1010200\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2016<\/a> Kalanchoe thyrsiflora in bloom at the Huntington<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"1-P1014095\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2017<\/a> Agave ‘Streaker’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"IMG_7532\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2018<\/a> Boyce Thompson Arboretum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"P1019094\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
January 2019<\/a> Aloe ‘Moonglow,’ also in bud in the garden this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(In making a January scrapbook, I realized there are no photos of the garden from January 2020, since I spent that month at my mom’s house.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 2021 Kalanchoe ‘John Bleck’ has been a first-rate light catcher this January<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
