2/2 I started with one of my most favorite plants: a barrel cactus
At first I focused on its spines, but then I decided the shadows cast by them were more fun and got a little closer. Which do you like better?

I’m a ball, no, a cactus 🌵
I look like an eyeball 👁️
And can’t be ignored
My spines are strong
So don’t tread on me
I’m a succulent and don’t suck on things
I thrive on arid conditions but interestingly endangered
I am an iconic possession😊

My wife has been obsessing over these little lithops plants and she was so excited last week when she noticed one was putting up a flower. Last night we came home to see the flower had finally opened. #plantparents #desertplant #flowers #indoorplants #Lithops #succulent
A low-angle, close-up shot of a large agave plant, showcasing its symmetrical rosette of long, pointed, green leaves with sharp yellow edges. The plant dominates the foreground, reaching upwards towards a bright blue sky partially obscured by the foliage of trees in the background. The ground around the agave is dark brown soil.

Fouquieria splendens (maybe). Two branches of a thorny shrub cross diagonally the image. Between half an inch long thorns, protected by a honor guard, tiny pretty yellow flowers beckon. The flowers grow directly from the bark.
Guarded beauty.

Sowed two types of #adenium seeds and was worried about getting them mixed up, but one of them was a one hundred percent failure so it should be pretty easy.

Brilliantly blooming!
Crown of thorn plants are thriving in the desert this winter.
