Cacti, palms and succulents

Yucca (agave)

Still winter and things are a little slow. I thought I would show some of our plants that look great all year even when not in bloom. This is our Yucca tree. In October it has beautiful white flowers.   Expand the picture and see if you can see our doggie, Toni.

Agave Americana variegata, down by the start of our driveway

aeonium, cactus echeveria and aloe variagata

Agave Americana.  These are  beauties we wish were up by the house

One of our favorites for all of its colors. Not sure what it is, possibly a type of Cholla?

The wonderful prickly pear. We have many of these. Break off one of its leaves, and stick it in the ground

and it grows

Another variety of prickly pear which keeps its fruit for most of the year

chamaerops humilis, Palmito dwarf palm.

This palm is a protected species which seems to be now proliferating.  It's fronds are used locally for basket weaving.

                                   

                                             

Aloe variegata.  It grows anywhere and doesn't need water
