Very nice!

We're finally above freezing here in Wyoming after a cold spell. It got down to -20F one night.

Merry Christmas to all my cactus friends.

Those Yucca flowers are lovely David, and I love the colour of your maple leaves... what's tha OOpuntia there behind the Yucca, can we see a cloer pic of that... It's got nice big pads!

Dave,

Are you trying to make us jealous? : ) That's a beautiful pic. I started a few babies of these in the front yard 2 summers ago, slow growers and I cant wait til they look like that! May be 80 yrs old by then LOL Merry Christmas!

That Opuntia had LARGE pads ( a foot across with few spines)when I first got it. It was laying on the side of a road in McAllen Teas-- there was a large pile someone tossed so I got a piece of it. No telling if it was a local native or an old cultivated species. A friend said it might be what they call the "Old Mexico" variety. These Yuccas are fast growers this far south. I really can't remember if they are supposed to be Y gloriosa or another southern coastal type with soft floppy leaves.

Just lovely David! thanks for sharing. Happy Hollydays to all!

Great picture. Did you use it for your christmas cards?

Not so great here, fog with the temperature creeping just above freezing by day and just below by night. But it is reminding me of the truly copious amounts of condensation you can accumulate without a drop of rain. Roll on the Copiapoas!
