My cacti and succulents made it through our mild winter with no problems. The only loss was a nice E. grusonii. It was a bit of a surprise. This is the second time that I have tried this species in my garden. Even though we had a very mild winter, for some reason it died. This seems to be a touchy species in this area. I have heard of some that have been perfectly content with the weather here for years, while others just die. I don't know whats up with that, but I think I won't try again for a while. After removing it, I added a Euphorbia antisyphilitica. I also added two Delosperma sp. and a Lupinus texensis (Texas Bluebonnet) since last years plant never reseeded.
MANY of my garden plants have come from Andy. I want to thank you for your extraordinary generosity in helping get my garden back together. All of them are growing, and many have/are flowering. Thank you so much - I couldn't be happier!
Backyard Bed
This photo was taken at the beginning of the year.
I also added one Delosperma sp. to the backyard bed as well.
