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?

Aloe Polyphilla

A really stunning Aloe Polyphilla, a particularly compact and geometric type of Aloe.
An African slow grower, it unfurls its leaves in a perfect spiral, making it a very sculptural plant for a design garden.
