At least you're not having to crawl under screens, out side, in the hot sun, trimming off pieces of cacti, and watering every now and again.

Have you ever looked for seeds? I grew some cactus seeds a long time ago, it was a store bought mix that somebody gave me. I got some to germ but that’s about it, lost patience (or interest) in them. Love your garden, desert beauty.

another morning in the garden...

[unclefishstick]

if i recall correctly this is a perry's penstemon,like most of the plants this one came to me in a one gallon container,i think it put out 2 flowering spikes last year,this year its more like 20-30....these flowers just reek of flowery perfume-y sweetness...


















water drops on a mexican primrose...i love these plants,they just sort of ramble all over the place and its not unusual to find blossoms 5-6 feet away from the main root mass..they have a sort of scraggly looking phase but then they will suddenly explode into masses of these delicate pink flowers....some of these desert flowers are so fragile and transient that they blossom and fade in a matter of hours
