Some of the most lovely blooms this autumn are in the cacti garden. The Ariocarpus and Conophytum are all in full swing, shown right is an Ariocarpus scapharostrus in the Huntington Library collection left is a Conophytum ectypum 'Mabel's Fire'. The Lithops and kin will begin to bloom soon in yellows and oranges, fleeting reminders of summer.
Nursery addict, plant enthusiast, all around botany geek.
Gardening has always been a great passion of mine, one passed on to me by my mother, and her father before that. My goal is to parlay my passion to the following generations, to make the world a greener place, one yard at a time.
