I’ve always liked cactus, and after we moved out to the Phoenix area from the East Coast I've had the opportunity to actually grow some outside. I’ve been eying the photos in the CP threads and though I would post a few of the desert plants that are currently blooming in my front yard:
Astrophytum myriostigma – Bishop’s Cap:
Baileya multiradiata – Desert-marigold:
Calliandra eriophylla – Fairy Duster
Aloe barbadensis – Aloe vera, Medicinal aloe
Fouquieria splendens – Ocotillo
Fouquieria splendens – Ocotillo (just about ready to burst open)
