Indoor Plant Sale at UBC Botanical Garden

Photo update: 20 September 2010

Indeed, I found there a wide selection of indoor plants with prices between $2-$10.

The Havaiian Botanicals and Water Gardens impressed me with few amazing plants like Sarracenia Leucophylla "Tarnok" and 2 types of Venus Flytrap: Dionaea "Big Jaws" and Dionaea "Muscipula Red".

West Coast Floral had a large selection of succulent plants as: Sedum"Lineare Sea Urchine" and Sedum "New Salsa Verde" and Crassula "Princess Pine"


 

















I liked also the whole collection of Opuntia "Variegated".
