I want that plant!!?
@Sheannutt it's like some kind of fantastic sculpture; surreal.
That is a magnificent speciman.
@Sheannutt Don't we all??
This cactus actually is mine...with my pepper plants in the blue containers in the background We are fortunate to have so many wild cactus here that bloom every spring. This one I actually brought back from a hike last year
@Sheannutt I do too. I want to do permaculture on the front of my property in all rocks, cactus, wildflowers, yucca...and thistles! I have plans.... and I never want to mow it again! LOL
@Sheannutt Yeah....this is the bottom of the Great Plains and all prairie...I can't figure out why anyone has grass. Mostly it's a battle with crabgrass around here. The whole town needs a permaculture makeover....especially with the drought conditions of the last decade.
@SkotlandSkye
That is sooo true.
We have prairie restorations here, including burns and reseeding.
Oak savannas are valued above all here
@SkotlandSkye My ideal garden. No mowing. The neighbour across the road has an interesting combination of cacti and roses growing surrounded by white river pebbles.
@FrayedBear I want cactus, wildflowers, thistles, and crepe myrtles
@SkotlandSkye I love crepe myrtles! We have some beautiful ones here but there are too many people that mutilate them. Does that happen a lot in your area?
@Lauren what do you mean by "mutilate" them? You mean like vandalize them? Or trim them funny like hedges?

Posted by KateOahuThis morning I went to a class for making a terrarium with native plants at the Waikiki Community Center, which is about three blocks from where I live.
