Wow.... You have your gorgeous silk tree, the south magnolia and crepe myrtles growing as the perennials. What should I expect from mine having minus 30 C every winter....

Nice plants anyway!

Jim, finally you posted the succulent "yard" pics! Thanks! Everything looks perfect! Mafreda plant, is it the maculosa? And the purplish plant, is it either phormium or cordiline?
Cacti are just wow!
Jesse, the sexy agave is A.parry I assume. And the left one is A.havardiana.
