They are not my own unfortunately . I do have a tiger aloe up. One day I will have a hot greenhouse !

Those red hot pokers are beautiful! Do you keep them in a hot house. ArcticFox?

Our garden is full of aloes, but no red hot pokers. I'll plant some this weekend on the road side fo the wall. Keep criminals out and they are so pretty.

Couldn't find any closeups, but here's a long view of the cactus patch



I've also got a couple of types of cholla, and a couple of small barrel cactus, all winter hardy in central NC.

I'll take some closeups of them later.

This takes care of anyone who rings my doorbell asking me to sign a petition:
