Nice pictures! Lots of "American" plants on the loose over there. Some African too.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. This place reminds me San Vito Lo Capo, one of the best places in Sicily, am I right?

I wouldn't have know that was Sicily without having been told, there were a lot of plants that belong over my way out there, plus a few Euphorbias which aren't really from here!

Nice pictures. Looks like a cool place!
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.

Ferocactus.

Species? Maybe F. wislizenii?

It puts a smile on my face to see a Fero in a window box! :D
