Cactus Adventure

I went to the Denver Botanical Garden’s spring cactus and succulent sale, and lost my mind! I set up this cacuts display in pots. I drove to the ends of the valley to find to find the colors I wanted. I chose colors that give a nod to the bright Mexican calavera pottery. I will post more pictures in 2019 with species name and such.
I bought these plastic cloches to help protect the agaves in the pot garden. “Some” say that agave will not overwinter in the garden here in Colorado, in a pot. We shall see. Cause I’m not going to haul pots around.
so temps are supposed to be down to 10 degrees. So I wrapped the agaves in quilted packing blankets. they WILL make it through this winter!
