Yes Judy, beautiful Pics! There is one I have never seen, the third pic. Amazing! Also love the one with the golf course in the background and correct me if I am wrong, but an Oriele on top of the cactus? And yes your pics made me think of an above-ground Bondy!!! Nice.... Sally

Hey, thanks!
I dont know the botanical names of any of these although there are a few that I can almost read the signs next to them.
Here are a couple more since everyone seems to be enjoying these. One of the reasons they are so nice is the early morning sun

Sometimes you really do question; why you are and where you are.

Lover
After pressing the reply button, you will see a browse button at the bottom of the reply box.
Use that to find the pic on your computer and upload it.
Hope that helps.

Found some more


These are not from the cactus garden
This is the flower of the Agria. They must open overnight because it is hard to find one open in the daytime.

Golden barrels ( Echinocactus grusonii) are some of my favorites, especially when planted in multiples like photo #5.

I thought I was really clever to spot some at the 99 cent store and I bought up their entire stock of the tiny 2" pot size. But they're growing so painfully slow, it'll be 99 years before they're nice big globes.

Even if you don't want to spend big bucks for large specimen barrels, don't cheap-out like i did and at least start with medium-size plants so you'll be able to see some growth during your lifetime. :biggrin:

Aloe Bloom


Beautiful, windgirl!

This is about the only thing blooming in my garden.
Upon close inspection, I was amazed to see that the tips of these blooms are blue.
Que bonito
