Sexy Cactus

I love cactus!!!  Right now everything is blooming...while similar in flower to the viny nightblooming cactus, this one is called the San Pedro cactus and is a large monster.  They are easy to transplant.  Blooms open up at night and close early morning.  The flowers from both these evening cacti are slightly different from one another....the flower on the San Pedro is upright and reminds me of white fluffy feathers(above)....while the Night Blooming Cereus(below) has  more of a hanging lizardy and tropical feel. Both are sexy.  Compare the above pic with the bottom pic below this caption from these two amazing cacti.

Notice the black bee below the flower. He was in the flower when I spotted him as if he were sleeping.

At a friend's house...the Cactus Queen

This plant was given to her for Mother's Day by her son.

The Fern Garden at El Presidio

I love ferns, but most of them won't grow in Tucson....so I found similiar leaf structures and patterns and put them together to create a "ferny" look.  This is my fern garden.
