Cactus Garden

I purchased this photograph at the Rose City Collectors Show this last weekend. Love the collection of plants in this person's yard. Quite a nice group of cactus and succulents. There is a nice size Ferocactus on the right side of the photograph. Talk about a drought tolerant yard. Found it to be interesting to share.

Thread Leaf Agave

AGAVE FILIFERA

Agaves are the number one succulents that I collect, Ferocactus being second. This little one is the Agave filifera variety planted in a 2 1/2 inch pot. The origin is Mexico (Chihuahua, Durango, Sinaloa, Sonora), at an elevation of 4500 to 7500 feet. Stemless rosette up to 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall, 2 to 3 feet wide; 100 leaves or more per rosette, each leaf has white markings, sharp tips and marginal fibers.
