hey John!
Great Pics!
love your plants.
(all the Opuntia you gave me several years ago are doing well, some have bloomed, some haven't)
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.

That Echinocereus bonkerae is awesome! TFS John!

Hey John P. I've been crazy busy here with a huge tree-planting project, graduation things, etc. Even relatives from Carson City here visiting. So that's why I'm late in chiming in here, but your post here is looking great so far - fantastic flowers. Don't forget to post some overview garden pics too - your layout is so nice there.

John lovely like always! love your yard. IT looks like a botanical garden instead of someone's yard
BTW I sent a few cuttings from some of the Opuntia that you sent me awhile ago, they are slowly taking over the country one yard at a time!
