I have really neglected putting up the photos from my northern Vermont cactus gardens which are no longer 'experimental'. I did one post in early May, showing a
Pediocactus simpsonii and an
Echinocer. viridiflorus. After a relatively cool late May/early June, we've had a lot of very warm, dry weather which caused by garden to put forth a lot of growth and--finally--a nice show of flowers. I started with the old standbys of
O. humifusa, macrorhiza, polyacantha; several clones of
E. reichenbachii baileyi; and some
O. fragilis. This year I added
O. fragilis denudata and
erinacea; more varieties of
O. polyacantha; an
Escobar. missouriensis; an
Echinocer. triglochidiatus, a
fendleri v kunzleri and
reichenbachii albispinus. I'm very busy outside of the CactiForum and don't have as much time to devote to it as I'd like. So, I'm just going to post some photos that show most of my garden--without individual labeling--how well it has filled in and the multitude of nice blooms Nature has provided this Spring and Summer.
