RE: September Gardenjournal: the latest rockery in progress
Hi 👋 @nikv, long time no see! I see you've had some busy days at home with moving earth and planting in the back garden.
I have to tell you, you have a huge Aloe Marlothii—I had no idea they could get that big! You have so many beautiful wild plants, NiKV, like the purple-flowered Drosanthemum, and the Euphorbia with those pretty little yellow flowers—that one is really lovely, and it's covered in blooms 😍. Blessings.
And even though you don’t plant columnar cacti, Ferocactus, or Echinocactus grusonii, the rocky area is perfect, friend—they would look spectacular there!! 👏🤗
You know, I’ve never spoken up before, but what is this one?? 🤔👇

Hehe the Marlothii is just a baby of about 7 years old and they can grow long stems and turn into trees
I know cacti would look good but so many become invaders here, especially if it has cereus in the name, so I keep mine in pots.
The yellow-flowered euphorbia is cactiformis
The little one is Euphorbia trichadenia, it's a grassland caudiciform native to my area. I had it in a pot in the greenhouse but it kept getting spider mites so I put it where it will be happy
Oohhh!! 😱 Oh my goodness, I want one for my garden! I'm going to get in touch with the collectors in Cuba 🇨🇺 to see if they have any and buy one from them. It's super beautiful @nikv.
But hey, some of the large cactus plants 🌵 must look really cute there, friend!! 😊
