Love them desert jewels. 8)
My cactus are just thinking of blooming, I belive you are 2 weeks ahead. We are colder than normal, except the 2 days in the 90's. 😀

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.

Thanks Barb
The house is for sale,hopefully if there is a new owner
they will continue to rent the 3 apt spaces....that is also why
I have not gone to wild with planting anything right now...
nothing last forever eeh? 🙂

Have a beer ready for the prospective new owner...maybe he'll be a palm / cactus nut and all will be fine.
If he doesn't keep the apartments, I'll help you dig out all those beauties and help you move. 😆
Hell, we'll all come!
Right, folks?
It would make me sick to my stomach to think you're leaving those spectacular plants there.
Oh man, now I'm gonna worry about you. 😥
Barb
EDIT: not gone too wild to plant anything more? ha ha, it's coz you've run out of plantable space. Except the roof. 😆

Jim, all hopes that the new owner sees what you did to the yard, and FORCES you to stay and continue! If not, maybe a bigger yard in the future:P
Tim - that was my reaction..... I had no idea that they crept for a few years then can just go absolutely nuts! There is a guy who is cloning the largest and oldest ones to use as carbon sinks and help reforest some of NA.

Couple feet at least in pretty dry last few years years of drought.
We have had lots of rain this spring so it should blast off!
Jesse
Hopefully I will be able to stay or at last come across some thing in the next month that would work...
so I can get the plants moved early enough...if they are coming,no guarantee I can find a place
were they can be moved to but I ain't there yet so why worry................? 🙂

I will have too add a better picture later as the color of these flowers,fully opened in the sun is spectacular.
