The Dry Garden had them for sale. Why I passed I cant figure. Usually he has them listed as NFS (not for sale) and then I passed when they were. Mistake.

This plant is usually for sale at Lowe's here in San Diego, cheaply. The proceeds go to the continued conservation of this plant in Hawaii.

Lindak:

It is...it grows on the cliffs in the Hawaiian Island chain. It's critically endangered, though. It grows well here in San Diego as long as it has good drainage.
