Blooming yuccas.

Yucca neomexicana






Eriogonum sp.

I don't know what this is, but I do know they live with very liitle water, and can grow in cracks of rocks.
Also I think they would make awesome bonsi trees.

I thought this was Yucca thompsoniana, but know it is starting too look like Y. rostrata. (seed grown) 


Yucca glauca 




Yucca elata!

Hybrid pricklypear and other flowers.

Here is a what I think is a hybrid between a O. macrocentra & O. polyacantha?
I found them last year as a small seedlings, it was covered with dark long spines, but as it got older it started to look different. So I was very surprised when I seen one had pink flowers.  It was found where I had O. macrocentra growing in the past as so was the other hybrid.  I have lots of small Opuntia starts every year, but you could tell when these were young they looked just like small O macrocentra.  But now I don't now? 



And one with yellow flowers.


PS, this was the only opuntia(O. marcocentra) I had growing in this part of the yard, and this where the red flowered one was found. 

Fire weed that came up from seed last year.
and more cactus flowers.
