Cactus gardening in Zone 8b. Desert plants and Cacti in a water wise rock garden. Cacti like Echinocereus and Echinopsis to Ocotillo and Agave, beautiful flowers, bold evergreen structure, and blooms all colors of the sunset. A trial and error journey to discover cold hardiness where only the fittest will survive hot temperatures, high humidity, and frosty nights in the teens, not to mention an onslaught of rock squirrels and cactus beetles.

Another Monarch chrysalis opening, spreading its wings and heading North before we leave for Spring Break. Your welcome if you live up that way, I saved this one from a late frost for your enjoyment. |

This giant Claret Cup cactus (Echinocereus triglochidiatus) on top of the "mountain" was 3.5 feet in diameter and days away from full bloom, sorry to have missed it. |
Cactus, cactus everywhere some more beautiful than others |
