and to bring more beauty to the table, here are some of my babies here at home:
This one might be flowering tomorrow? It smells atrocious when it blooms:
This one is in a ceramic boot:
and this one I don't know the name of but I really like it. Close up the variations of green make it look like a snake!

thanks Tom! I so love working in the garden.
The flower does not seem to be opening up completely...weird.
I do have 3 huge white queen of the night flowers blooming today that are so pretty!

Blanca, that rock work was awesome! We're thinking about tearing out our small front yard's grass patches and doing a decomposed granite with cactus.
Now we've got more to ponder....... Your summer blooms are amazing as well.

Nice photos. Don't know if you are aware, the top photo of your plants is a carnivorous plant- that's why the flower smells so bad, to attract
insects, which it then consumes.

Brown flowers
When we bought our house in Anchorage, there was a bed of brown flowers that we were told were Chocolate Lily's. Neat, I had never seen brown
flowers! They smelled like cat sh*t!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

That rock work was totally awesome and creative. I would love to have that in our place in Ensenada.
