Terra Sol Garden Center
We did a little yelping the night before heading down to LA and found Terra Sol Garden Center. When we read, “We specialize in the unusual and the unique and carry a wide selection of plants with an especially large selection of succulents and agaves.” we had to check it out.
Kalanchoe delagoensis x daigremontiana "Pink Butterflies"
One of these freaky pink Kalanchoes came home with us. One cutting will live inside and the rest will go out back. Maybe we’ll have millions down the road.
Succulent Seahorse
It’s a seahorse made of succulents! This was by far the most impressive succulent creation at Terra Sol, but not the only one.
Succulent Dragon
Yes, that’s really a six foot long succulent encrusted dragon hanging out next to the big honking Echeveria.
Succulent Fountain
These are just a few of the awesome succulents containers at Terra Sol. Definitely check it out if you’re in Santa Barbara.
