Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Great desert Josef! My coccineus looks nohting like that, it's short and fat! But, it's only been in the ground for 3 years.

Thanks for sharing.

Josef, your desert garden is amazing. Actually, it was looking through your pics on this post that got my mind going on the subject, and now I've begun work on a desert garden of my own:) It looks like your garden is growing on a hill, is that correct? Also, what zone are you? Any recommendations on plants to try in my garden? I'm zone 6a. If I can get mine looking half as good as yours, I'll be thrilled:)

great cactus Igor! Your unknown cactus looks like an Escobaria missouriensis form.
