Road Trip!!!

I’m starting to feel like such a slacker….
But when a good friend suddenly announced they were moving from Sanibel Island to San Diego…
…What?!…
Why would anyone wanna do that?….I guess a girl has to do what a girl has to do…
So,slacker that I am,I said goodbye-just for the weekend- to TheGreatWall,packed up the new Tacoma,and headed south,to stay with a good friend…
and say goodbye to one of the classiest ladies I know….
After meeting up at the Sanibel Grill,for drinks,we retired to the Sanibel Café
…thanks Bonnie and Richard…
to say goodbye to this classy lady…
nancy
Gonna miss you,Nancy…
But….
Figuring I needed to deal with my depression,what better way than to go a native plant nursery?
…retail therapy is always a help in dealing with depression,no?
Sooo,off good friend and I go….
where I bought these…

The Wild Coffee to go under the Norfolk Island Pines-semi-shady and tending to damp(but well drained)-and the Meyer Lemon will go into a large container,in the Roadside Garden.
…and two Tropical Sage plants…

….not planted,yet.But they are in place,under the largest Angel’s Trumpet.
and then…
good friend and I went here
and ooooo…..
the treasures we saw….
female wild boar…

tillsandia…..id anyone?…Bueller?…
6mile1
6mile4
6mile
I need an ID here…It looks like a cotton ball….Button Snake Root?
6mile1
and which Tillsandia is this?
…Lee County only has a few registered (9,I believe).
2 of which are Spanish Moss and Ball Moss.
Eliminating those two,what is this?
Hey!…….Maybe,I’m not such a slacker,after all….

Ahhh, I bet that was a bummer to say good-bye to Nancy. For me... I will just hear different stories from a new home, but you all won't get to see her smiling face anymore. :( That's sad, but her new home increases my chances of getting to meet face to face. It's several thousand miles closer to me!!
