Thanks that is out front by the parking area. A little point of land between the dirt lane at the side of the property and the half circle parking area.

Deebie said:Lyn, just wear leather gloves if you have to handle them. Plant the opuntias in an out of the way place, where you can admire the blooms from a distance. They need no care whatsoever, other than what nature provides. You can't get any easier than that for a low maintenance plant. You can do it. Right, Cinta?

Right Debbie. Plant somewhere out of the way.

I have two now...a green one and this varaigated one"it has no spines...stickers of any type?..that part seems to dry off...it has some support out in the wind as it is..till it gests a bit tough..

Now that is certainly interesting Gordon. Has it bloomed for you? Love the variegation.

Yes, That is very interesting, never seen a variegated Prickly Pear.
I was out in the yard this morning with the camera, I was house bound for about 2 weeks and it is so nice to be out walking the garden again.

group of mixed pots


Updated pic of Window Boxes I was very pleased with these. Although they could use a few white caladiums mixed in,
I think they are a bit dark.

Very nice! I love seeing what other gardeners are growing in different areas.

This is in a container. It's just a plastic nursery pot, but the flower is too pretty not to share. This is Echinopsis 'Los Angeles'.

That sure is pretty

looking good there Holly...my two weeks inside..and everything is so well watered... caladimum mix is great lynn...no flowers yet..I thought I had one working ..but it seems to have dried up right away... I moved it out from underneath some things that had overgrown it.. so it will get the energy for a flower soon

Kelli, how long do those blooms last? I have a friend who has one very similar to yours and the blooms only last one day.

They last one day, two days if it isn't hot.

Dear Husband Ric has taken care of everything very well. It helps that both of us are Gardeners, each one willing (if not always able) to pick up the slack when needed.

Holly, the hibiscus is so unexpected. Your pix are just beautiful.
Nice Caladium arrangement.

This was a few wks ago and now my waves look so bad. I cut them back yesterday. They had dropped the leaves close to the soil. Anyone have that problem with waves?

The container isn't very sexy but I like the plant, Aloe 'White Stag'. (Disregard all of the mimosa tree dirt.)




Again, the container is just a terra-cotta pot but this Agave victoriae-reginae looks happy repotted.

Love that container of aloe. Both containers look happy and healthy. Great plants to have with all of the drought conditions we have been having.

Thank you. Succulents do well for me. I have hundreds.

What other kinds do you have Kelli?

Looking great Kelli!

Here is my container, the vase was on clearance at @Lowes for $3.25. It is really a candle holder.
I just put these together this morning. These orchids are babies of my orchids that were blooming on my plumeria tree. I plucked them to give to my friend/neighbor for her birthday celebration today.

Kelli I am starting to find out I should only grow succulents since I do not like to water. They are great plants and I love your pots.


Gigi they look so good together. I wish I could grow Orchids successfully.
