What's my zone?

ORIGANUM According to the RHS Index of Garden Plants, nearly every species we list is hardy to Zone 8 or 9. What a crock, who comes up with this stuff, winter in the mountains of Turkey at 2,000m doesn't sound like palm trees to me. The scary thing is most beginning gardeners and even some of the experienced ones actually take them seriously. (Want a chuckle; check out their Allium zone ratings;

	Opuntia fragilis ex Lake of the Woods Canada A tiny padded form, cute enough for a trough, this originally came from one of the most northerly sites for a Cactus, Dick has grown it for many years and brought us some. We had originally planned to ship it back to a Canadian nursery however CITES in its infinite stupidity prevents us from sending it back from whence it came. (In California if you catch a Bullfrog and release it back into the pond it just came from you can be fined $$$$; Government officials should be forced to take a common sense test and shot if they fail).____ZONE 4	$8.00 Add:
	Orostachys aggregatus Cute little green rosettes that look like little flowers and produces offsets on long, thin stems which, is planted in a container, will danged over the edge in a manner that is just too adorable to be borne. An inch or two tall, spreads indefinitely – Joseph .....Zones 5	$8.00 Add:
	Orostachys boehmerii 'Keiko' Orostachys boehmerii 'Keiko' A new orostachys for us from the great plantsman Stan Tyson (thank you Stan!) with wonderful rosettes of gray foliage and adorable little offsets dangling and dancing on long, thin runners. We're still testing the hardiness on this, but hardy to at least zone 6, maybe colder. If you grow this somewhere colder, and it survives, please let us know! An inch or two tall, spreads indefinately – Joseph	$8.00 Add:
	Orostachys iwarenge Orostachys iwarenge Another new-to-us species from Stan Tyson. Great glaucus foliage, and distinctive and beautiful flower spikes. Orostachys make a great hardy alternative to tender succulents like Echevaria for us in the frozen north. An inch or two tall, spreads indefinitely – Joseph.....Zones 5 (maybe hardier? Let us know if you experiment with it)	$8.00 Add:
	Orostachys malecophyllus Everyone wants to grow what they can't have, and in cold, wet Michigan, I'm always trying to grow stuff that would really be happier in Southern California. This guy, with fairly large rosettes of fleshy, pale green leaves, actually is happy here, and gives a wonderfully tropical desert look. Great to contrast with more typical northern garden fare, and of course exceptionally drought and heat tolerant as well. An inch or two tall, spreads indefinitely – Joseph.....Zones 5	$8.00 Add:
	Orostachys spinosa ex Halda Marvelous plant, these are from wild seed and we now have hundreds of different genotypes, previous cultivated material seemed to be clonal from a single introduction that seldom flowered, these do. They show a bit of variation and should produce some viable seed for a change. They roll up in a tight ball for the winter swelling and unfurling in the spring to a multi-armed starfish with next year's over-wintering ball in the center; the ultimate Hen and Chick.____ZONE 4	$8.00 Add:
	Oxalis crassipes 'Alba' Pure white long blooming with trifoliate leaves supposedly zone 5 hardy it sure has a bedding plant look.____ZONE 5	$8.00 Add:
	Oxalis crassipes 'Rosea' It sits on the bench next to crassipes 'Alba' and the two seem to have merged in my mind, except of course the flowers on this are pink, maybe the leaves are different too. I really don't care; this one is supposed to like the shade but it is sitting in dead full sun flowering like mad, I'll trade a flat of it for a few plants of Oxalis laciniata or O. bryoides.____ZONE 5	$8.00 Add:
	Nolina texana A big, 4 foot by 4 foot mass of very narrow, grass-like leaves with large spikes of very showy white flowers. Very showy and cool, and out west where they can be kept very dry, even hardy to zone 5, though it doesn't have a chance in our wet winters.	$12.00 Add:
	Oenothera fruticosa glauca 'Hobe Licht' Short German selection of this Eastern US native (it is kind of crazy how many US native plants have to go to Europe to be appreciated and selected). Only a foot or so tall, with very profuse, bright yellow flowers over a long period in during the summer. Like most oenothera, tough and easy to grow, sometimes to a fault. Zone 4	$12.00 Add:
