Bamboo looks good too.

Thanks guys!
Barb- I actually thinned the Opuntia quite a bit this year. I wonder how it will look in 2 more years time? I also expanded the bed, again, since I always want to try more plants!

Hi Paul,
nice garden update. Your blooming Yuccas look great. Your filamentosa seem unusual since the blooms start within the leaves..........this is nice since I dont' see this form around here.
