A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

few pictures I took while walking through the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix AZ
Saguaro grow all over the desert area here and some grow retarded. The tour guide
said its not known why some of them do this......



and believe it or not, moss does grow in the desert



a beautiful in bloom display of Aloe



Cholla is common also but this variety is nothing like what I'm used to seeing.
called paper spined cholla grows in Western Argentina and Brazil



Organ pipe cactus

Mammillaria Compressa from Central America
I thought these were kinda cool cause they grow in little mounds



more to come, including the Chihully exhibit that was going on there.

Ava, the different forms of cactus are so interesting. I agree the Aloe is really pretty. I've grown some for years, but never enough to see such a display. That would make a good puzzle, hint hint.

Thanks for posting them.

Great pics! Love the cactus. And the Aloe is amazing!

it made a GREAT puzzle, and was intriguing to work on

I'm so enjoying getting to know the cacti in the SW. Thanks for sharing!

I have seen his work in Seattle. It's it just outstanding!??
