Here is a cool Youtube vid I found on Boot Hill in Tombstone AZ.
It is a cool place to see, but it is the native garden that makes it special to me. I think they have the nicest form of Opuntia engelmannii there. All the plants in the garden are native to the area, well everything I've seen. 😀

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Cool video, Aaron.
In all the Bayfield Bisbee RV logs, didn't see any mention of Bisbee massacre.
At first glance the "rock beds" looked landscaped, yet those are the graves 😯
And wonder whose grave that is with the black wrought-iron fence.
Such interesting history, plants and terrain...and one gorgeous gigantic Washy 😀

When I go, I want a Giant sequoia to be planted directly over my belly so its roots will wrap me and.preserve me like a sarcophagus, while at the same time thwart all grave robbers.
I guess the grave with the Agave americana growing from the one fella's belly is another option too.
It would not be a good idea to try staling ANY of those plants... you'd likely walk away with a skull in your roots! OMG Sorry welcome to MY inner thinkings.
Have a nice day, all!

Tim, have you been there?
I so want a one of those big Agave palmeri, and Opuntia engelmannii. I like how the O. engel. pads are diamond shaped. On my side of the mountain they are rounded. 😀

I think if the people there took a lesson on landscaping from the cemetery they could do wonderful things with thier yards.
The creosote bushes give it such a nice airy feeling of green and the cactus and A. palmeri give it structure, oh and the ocotillio hieght I think the only landscaping that was done to the cemetery over the past 100 years has been removel of the grass/weeds. 😉

Oh...yes and the yucca's. The ones I seen there Y. elata and some trunking baccatas, could have been Y arizonica? The baccata's there looked different than Y. baccatas in Cali, NV.
I need some seed off them and my property to see if they are hardy here. 😉
