Cactus

02022-05-29 | Nature, Photos | 7 comments

Early this morning, stepping out of the house to take my morning walk, I looked across the street at the neighbor’s cactus. It’s a beauty and must be about 15-18′ tall. It reminds me of the ones that grew in my house, limited to a height of 10′ by the ceiling.

The blossoms of my neighbor’s cactus are amazing. By the time I returned from my walk they had already closed up for the day.

    Blossoms are spectacular on any plant/tree. Just a delight.

    (Just finished trimming one of my blossom trees – this past spring was the best yet – huge snowball blossoms. Another tree is over 50ft – it is something to see in the spring)

      and this other tree – omg – it goes through 3 transformations (4 if you include fall) each year.
      3 in 1.

      Over 50ft tall – can thank neighbors for that !!-Nerve of new neighbors.

      (trimming changes growth patterns – been gardening for 30 year )

        well …gonna share this -re my garden.

        Right now my peonies and delphiniums are about to bloom . It’s non stop from spring to fall with blooms …and it keeps getting better each year.

        re design – ….constantly moving things around. I work with all kinds of materials …(too the annoyance or jealousy of some neighbours !)

        I like everything …trees, …leaf shape, size colour, texture ……rocks./stones..pots …glass., iron etc. It’s my canvass

        My challenge is the sandy soil…makes it a hard winter.
