'Blue Glow' Seedling Update And So Forth

 A writing pen included for scale

Four leaves plus the seed leaf on some of them.  Still tiny, but they look like Agaves!
The rootless remains of the original plant have sent up a new bloom stalk.

I read somewhere that damaging the tip of the inflorescence would increase the likelihood of bulbil production, so I did that.  There's nothing to lose at this point. 

Since I am taking care of tiny plants anyway, I thought I'd try growing Aloes from seed as well.  I chose some pods from Aloe capitata.  The pods were pretty dry and beginning to split open, but they still had some yellow juice in them.  The seeds look ripe.  
  
So, we'll see what happens.  No guarantee they'll be pure Capitata, or that they will even sprout.  An experiment, just for fun, but can one ever have enough of Aloe capitata?

A new plant for the east slope, near the new wall and stairway:  Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Wood's Compact'.  

This plant is native to California, though not to this particular area.  It has beautiful dark glossy green foliage and the typical white-pink bell shaped flowers of the genus.  Low growing (inches) and spreading (feet).  

And so forth.  The first Ranunculus flower has opened.

'Laguna' is putting out a few early flowers.
   
So is 'Tamora'.
