Welcome to the wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!! Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!!
Today, we are looking at some of the Cacti found in the ABQ Botanical Gardens! It is amazing how well most cactus grow here in the dry high desert climate!
Although I do know better than to touch them, I think the barrel cactus is pretty cool looking....
Here is one of the bigger barrel cacti
Mama likes this cool cactus that is growing out of control.
These specialized cacti are kept in a big terrarium so they can keep them warm in the wintertime.
We see these everywhere when we drive through Arizona, they are the Seguaro Cacti, usually they have "arms" sticking out.
They also have this cool looking flower cactus...well, Mama says it's a succulent.
This is a Rosa de Pedra, or Rose of Stone, succulent plant.
It's such a pretty color, don't you think?? I think this might be my most favorite cactus, flower, succulent plant!
Thanks for joining us for a look at some of the Cacti found at the ABQ Botanical Garden!!
We hope all our friends get out and see some nature this weekend!!
