This is what our front garden looks like in the Spring, April and May

The pink flowers are ice plants. We also have yellow roses, a red tree rose, perky sues (darker yellow), day lilies, golden barrel cacti, and a pair of giant saguaros.

The first two images are from this year. The second pair is from last year.

Those giant saguaros are 50-70 years old or so. They may develop arms in another 50 years or so.

Saguaros are marginally hardy here. When the temperature dropped to 17 degrees in January this year, I had them covered in burlap. They are about 5 feet tall.

Last year the tree rose bloomed heavily with the ice plants. This year, the tree rose looks like it may pop in a week or so. The ice plants have really spread in the last year.

Our redbud tree bloomed heavily this year. I designed our landscaping.
