    How's your Y. Brevifolia holding up? -7 F didn't seem to faze ours in Boise.

      Impressive. You'll have to tell me how they look in May, but I think we can safely say they're hardier than a wimpy Zone 7.

    Gorgeous photos of your plants.
    The frost photos are fabulous, and so's your recent hardscape work. Very nice.

    But the real prize is your beautiful baby girl, what a sweetie.

      Thanks, I love working outside and one day all my playing around will look like something. lol

      I'm having so much fun hanging out with that little sweetie, they are the real prize. Plus I may need her as cheap labor later on. j/k

    The Cylindropuntia looks like the tunicata posted on the FB Opuntiads group by Mario Meier. Looks really cool covered in frost!

      Thanks, after the FB post I agree that it must be tunicata.
