I know I've posted these before, but every spring when they bloom they're just so beautiful I have to share it with someone.
This is a view of part of the cactus garden. I'd have to go back further behind me in order to capture the whole garden:
This is an Opuntia Sarah's Carpet. It has blue/grey pads and pretty pink flowers. Just look at all the buds waiting to open:
This is the spineless opuntia. It's about 7' tall:
This one is a Golden Barrel. The plant is quite large, but the blooms are not much to speak of:
This one is an Echinopsis. Most of the plant got frozen. I'm lucky that there were still a few pieces that are alive. The flowers are just so beautiful and blindingly white:
Thank goodness for Round-Up. Can you imagine trying to weed that prickly garden by hand?
