NOTE: This post was made by user: floyd, but appears under daiv because I moved it out into its own thread - in other words, these are floyds plants, not mine (though I'd gladly take credit for them if I could.)
Sharing some photos of my garden. I thought you might enjoy these.

All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
More of the 2010 plants
Here are some additional photos of the garden and an indoor plant that is blooming. I'm way behind in labeling my plants

It's good to see you back again!!
Your garden is filling in nicely. Your Opuntia blossoms are great.
What are the blue spikes of flowers on the left side of your first garden photo? Salvia? Penstemon? or Something else?

They still look nice. I grow several perennial Delphiniums in my garden they don't seed around a much as the annuals and many of the western perennial species go dormant before the cactus start to bloom. I think it is very considerate of them to make room so our prickly friends can show off.
Your cactus are definitely struttin their stuff and showing off!!

Daiv the cholla that you commented on above grow in abundance around here. There is some rough country to the south of my home about 20 miles and the prarie there have hundreds of them. It is amaizing to me how plants have adapted to different environments resulting in abundance at one location and are limited or completely absent elsewhere.
