More than you ever wanted to know about my garden. Newer posts →. Tuesday View: The Tropics 10.04.16. The nights have taken a turn towards cool here and for the first time it feels like the tropical bed is showing signs of autumn. The winding down of the season is ok by me, but my fingers are crossed we don’t have a repeat of last year when a single 23F (-5C) night in mid October crushed all hopes for a mellow end to the season. Frost is inevitable, but a brutal freeze? I love all these colors but last w...

Succulents and More: De-pupping an Agave ‘Cream Spike’
http://www.succulentsandmore.com/2015/08/de-pupping-agave-cream-spike.html

http://www.azplantlady.com/2010/09/wonderful-dilemmapart-2.html
A Wonderful Dilemma.Part 2. Faced with the wonderful dilemma of having to choosing what type of tree to plant, I have began to go through the list of candidates - listing their positives and sometimes the negatives. In my last post. We looked at 12 different trees and today I would like to finish the list of prospective tree choices. As much as I love this small tree, I will probably look for something that will grow a little taller. Another of my favorite imports from Australia, Willow Acacia offers bea...

http://www.azplantlady.com/2009/10/why-do-cactus-have-spines.html
Why Do Cactus Have Spines? What comes to mind when you think of cactus? Perhaps the first thing you think of are its spines. If you have ever been unfortunate enough to have been pricked by a cactus, you'll likely never forget that most of them have spines. Did I ever tell you about the time I was working along a golf course landscape and backed into a teddy bear cholla and got an entire piece lodged in the back of my leg? Golden Barrel (Echinocactus grusonii). The shade provided by the spines helps to l...
