Oh!
This is the one that you
named after your late wife?
Yeah, 'Jane Naylor'.
We were married 65 years
The other is 'Ruth Jane'
I grade these from 50 on up to 100
It's 'Gloaming' twilight
After dark, why, this is still glowing
And that's the highest point
96 out of 100
The color, the form
Yes, and the vigor
This is about 90 too
'Phoenix'
And we've got other real nice ones
Here's 'Cyana' it alludes to being
real blue in the wintertime
And then this is 'Candy's Best'
This is really something
It's about 95 points
Candy's your daughter
Yes, eldest daughter
They're all close by
That's wonderful
Mm-hmm.
And Kraig lives here
That's 'Mojave' Ruthie named that
She named 'Dick Wright' after me
That's published in the journal
Is there any way to access
your point system?
Is it available
if someone wonders what your
criteria are?
No, I just have to write it
Can you show us some more 95-ers?
'Copper Penny'
Oh, that's beautiful
That's 'Baron Bold'.
It won all the
shows in Florida
I had this up at the Arboretum
'Gypsy' and it was 42 inches across
We have one that's 4 feet 'Goliath'
'Goliath' was here when I was here last. Huge.
A lot of these aren't named
'Cobra'!
Look at it.
It even has a little fang!
That's 'Cobra'
Look at that little fang
It looks just like a cobra head
This one is 'Evergreen'
Even though it's not
I want plants that will do well
In my climate, which is similar
to yours. It gets near-desert heat
in the late summer, early fall
And it drops below freezing
And I have a patio area that I
have echeverias on
I move them, depending on the
weather and the heat
It's like they're always kind of
rotating in very slow motion
And that's where I'm going to put them
I can't have plants that are overly
sensitive though
No.
If they're going to be too fiddly
They're not going to work out
And then as far as the aesthetics
of the plant, because I'm getting
them from you, I want them to
have something about them that
"says" Wright Nursery
OK.
Ruffles and bumps and color and form
Anything with a darker blue tinge to
it, I think that's beautiful
and unusual
'Dark Desire' a guy from New Zealand
named it
Dad's youngest sister, 'Virginia Lee'
This is 'Virginia Lee'?
She didn't like it until she saw it in a book
Do you want to come home with
me, 'Virginia Lee'?
She saw it in a book and then
she thanked me
I'd love to see something that
showcases all of his
masterpieces
I think that would be fantastic
and I think there should be
something like that on my
Echeveria page on my website
