Desert Landscapes - Mini

Sorting out old pictures, I stumbled across some pictures of mini cacti and succulents "landscapes" we used to have in our old house.




 The Lithops desert
 Mixed Haworthias

 Sedum Rock garden


One of the most fierce Cereus' I have ever had! Re potting it was a real challenge, but the blooms where a real reward! It uses to make huge bunches of up to 10 blooms.



Can you believe that underneath is a cactus smaller than a tennis ball?

Fierce and beautiful - Cacti Garden in Blanes

 Actually I'm not a cactus friend,  ( when it comes to spines I'm totally devoted to roses) but this display of magestic thorny sculptures is quite impressive.
 Agave ans yuccas
 Ferrocactus divided by colour of thorns

an impressive crowd of Echinocactus Grusonii ( here also called "mother in law's cushion !?! )
