Pediocactus simpsonii

Not exactly hidden: more like "tucked in" behind a large building, surrounded by pickleball courts and a parking lot...This picture of Pediocactus simpsonii was taken in early April..these pictures represent two visits several weeks apart. The garden has something new blooming every visit. Many somethings!

Townsendia leptotes'Jeannie'

There will be little commentary from me: I've featured this garden many times on my blog. It's a little miracle creation that speaks for itself.

Veronica sp. ex Turkey

Aloinopsis spathulata

Rabiea albipuncta


Euphorbia spinosa

I grew this for years at Denver Botanic Gardens where it was regularly irrigated. And never bloomed. Here where it bakes and is stressed--well, you see! What a spectacular specimen.    `
