2024 DBG Spring Plant Sale & Interview w/ Bill Lindsey @spines.n.clay | Our 100th YouTube video!!

It's time for the 2024 Spring Plant Sale at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ! Come wander around the sale with me as we see how the event did this year and spot the various plants that Kenny showed us during the DBG nursery tour we did a few weeks ago. I hope you enjoy listening to me agonize over plant purchase decisions.
We also check out the amazing handmade pottery by Bill Lindsey of spines.n.clay. This is my first time meeting Bill in person after having bought several pots from him through Instagram. Bill shares how he got started with this art form and more as I conduct my second interview ever (this time with proper microphones).
I just realized before publishing this video that this is our 100th video on KZread!! Omg!! Thank you to all my subscribers and viewers for sticking with me and my cactus shenanigans for almost 2 years (our 2nd anniversary will be at the end of May). I know several of you comment on my videos just for the sake of helping my channel and the analytics that go with it - you know who you are. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

    32:19 Correction: The "Cousin It" plant my friend Judy has chatted with me about in the past was not Denmoza rhodacantha, it was Soehrensia formosa. Both plants are now classified as Echinopsis and rhodacantha can also achieve the "Cousin It"-like look, but this proves how terrible my memory can be!

    I am so happy for the garden that the sale went so well this year. During the last sale in fall hot weather turned up out of nowhere which really hurt attendance. For this sale, I heard that the members-only day on Thursday cleared out a lot of the inventory! Luckily there was still enough for us to shop anyway! I hope you make it out here again soon!

    2 ай бұрын

    I wish I had a good answer to this! Is it a large amount of cactus? Otherwise, a good pair of tweezers and some spare time might do the trick. Or if they're in the ground, maybe taking a leaf blower to them? I have the hardest time keeping debris off my grounded plants - my laziness usually means I end up never doing anything about it or occasionally picking out the debris.

    You were right not to buy the Oroya Peruviana. They're incredibly beautiful, but use the wrong tone of voice around them, or look at them strangely, and they melt into slush to spite you. Buy a Monadenium if you see another, they're resilient and rewarding.

    ​@@cookiescacti I love Monadenia. They just persist, throwing off leaves and growing away, no matter how much they're neglected: almost like a normal plant!
