Looks great Jim. You're proof that the desert can be lush with plants.

Looks like everything is growing beautifully up there Jim. Great Job !!!

The cactus flowers look amazing. My cactus is going to flower soon. i already see flower buds.

Looks more like a Phoenix garden than Iowa! Nice job as always.

Love it! Don't slip in the desert patch...

Move that Arundo donax before it's too late, it will take over.

Thanks you guys...

I am more afraid of the Bamboo and Tetrapanex! ( :

Really nice Jim. For me the standouts were your t. princeps, b. eriospatha, and your washy. I have all three and I hope to get the growth this season you are getting.

Never thought of washys as a shade tree, but the cat looks really comfortable.

Love all the cactus blooms. Mine will be in bloom this week.

Thanks Larrick!

I really love the Princeps too,the Eriospatha looks like it will finally start a serious upward spurt this year...not sure what the Washy is doing but if
we can get some heat,watch out!(-:

Thanks Chad

The cactus have bloomed more than ever this year with several that had not bloomed before and some that I have only seen once-I will be getting pics of all(-:

I guess if your Washy is close enough to the ground you get some nice shade (-;

I agree with Larrick as far as the standouts being the princeps, washie, and eriospatha. But he forgot those agaves. They have gotten quite large! If I stick around here for next winter, I need to check out your technique for washies. Mine will not be coming back in the house.
