The cactus looks great Jim! Looks like your palms are rebounding nicely!!!!!!!!!

Great colors on those cactus blossoms.
Nice variety too.
Is that a jade plant (or echeveria?) behind the first pink-blooming cactus pic?

Your front bed looks great already.
A miracle really considering it's early.
Looks like the ice plant loves it there too.

Yup that blue agave really stands out...spectacular.

Sequoia amazes me.
And your Naini Tal, alive and well, thank goodness.

You're off to a great start.
By September, your plants will be spilling into the street.

Looking good Jim!

Those lime colored flowers are really different, I like em. You filled the cacti bed in nicely with all your new stuff.

Nice fort-wag recovery too. Great score on the blue med fan, I kind of wish I took better care of mine now. Nothing
some tlc can't fix.

Great job,
Bill

Probably some type of variegated Ech Barb-
my sister sent me a bunch of stuff from Cali
and I haven't looked this one up.

That's a nice cactus garden. Is that an E. hordius in there as well?

The Echiveria thing looks to be an Aeonium 'kiwi'.

I think you've got it Jubaea!

Yes E.horridus in the dark colored pot,I think your right about
the Aeonium being "Kiwi" too-good call.
Probably needs to get a lot bigger to know for sure but I don't
think that will take long.

I wonder if they are as hardy as the Graptopetalum paraguayense
you can see next to the A.havardiana.

I have Aeonium haworthii then non-varigated form of A. 'Kiwi' and it is one of the easiest to grow. From what plants I have seen of A. 'Kiwi' it is not as strong as the non-varigated form and it sometimes rots if it gets too much water in the center of the plant. I'm assuming that these will be dug up in the fall and relocated inside or in a greenhouse?

G.paragauyense survived the winter in the cactus enclosure 😯

If there was one plant I would have bet on to be toast at 25(f) let alone 0(f)!
Grapto would have been it,this plant saw AT LEAST single digits,if not ZERO!-repeatedly-

This was quite a surprise as the leaf structure is VERY watery,this was the"good"
surprise of the winter.

I will do the same thing with A.kiwi I did with the Grapto..........
leave some out and bring part of it in for winter.

Thank ya'all
One of my favorite flowering cactus busted loose today-
now that we are finally getting some sun!
But first some other goodies!

How did that get in there?(-;

Those cacti flowers are amazing Jim.

I remember the first time I saw your post on your cacti, and before I knew anything about cacti, I thought you altered the photos to make them look like that! 😆 😆 😆

Bill

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Bill-

Yea,
I know what you mean,especially the 5th pic in this sequence,
looks like it is glowing-it actually does look like that close up too!

Jim- Looks like your trig is going to bloom too! That is one of my favorites, but, mine has only bloomed once:(

I see that you've got lots of Echinocereus planted, didn't you read the guide books? The minimum temperature those are supposed to handle is 41f! 😀

Jim
Spectacular show of color.
Passersby must stop and stare at your garden specimens!

OK where is that last pic? Thought you lived in an urban area.
