My
friend Bobby who lives in Boling, a little town down FM 1301, is a
gardener but he is a different sort of gardener than I am. I use
mainly native perennials while Bobby is into cacti and succulents.
When
Robin was here we went and visited Bobby because Robin really likes
thing that are sharp, spiny, and pokey. We missed the blooms. They
had either already bloomed or were just getting ready to bloom except
for one or two.
Here's
a few specimens from Bobby's yard:
Cholla
surrounding a south American columnar.
Golden
barrel. Very popular Mexican cactus.
Crested
Cow's Tongue prickly pear. Cow's tongue was first found near
the Alamo in San Antonio.
Red
Yucca. Actually is not really a yucca but a hesperaloe. Texas native.
