Shhhhh,mostly cactus.
2 cactus bloomed recently,one I have not seen bloom(for me)
in over 30 years.
The other 2 are not real hardy and I think the warmer temps in the cactus cover this winter helped.

Thx Paul.....
I trimmed the lower leaves off the Gloriosa yesterday-
freed up/reclaimed about a 3' diameter of space underneath.
