It’s been quite a floral extravaganza this spring in the dryland garden sections. Here are the latest of our flowering barrel cactus that have bloomed recently at JLBG. All of our cactus are growing outside without any winter protection in our zone 7b garden. The key for most is simply good soil drainage.
Wow, these photos are fabulous! I have always thought I needed to go to the Phoenix Bot Garden to see cacti in flower!!
