San Pedros in Full Flower
This shot is from mid summer, I think. These San Pedros flowered all summer and so profusely this year it could have been anytime from Dec to March.

Dracaena Draco
my favourite Dracaena Draco. I have ten for sale. Each will become a great specimen, eventually growing into a tree. Very tough plant, easily transplanted until about ten years old. The ones for sale are 2-3years old.
plus Aloe pilanties (sp?) and another spectacular aloe.
AGAVE Attenuata Flowering Specimen
Spectacular long lasting flower. Mine have not flowered in 12 years.
Different plant, just storing notes, which I have Cleistocactus strausii
'The Silver Torch' hardy for any position, but prone to high wind breaking at over six foot. A sheltered position like a fence is an ideal growing position.

Finally this succulent is about to burst in to flower. Exciting stuff in my small backyard!

Same cactus with bee
Two amazing trumpets
Two amazing trumpets
These cactus flowers are stunning. I picked the cactus up along with two great aloes the other day. They were left for free on the footpath with many other succulents and cacti.
With Reed and Mia in tow or perhaps towing and little room left in my garden I was happy to leave the dozen or more plants behind that I couldn’t carry. The next day most of the cacti and succulents were gone, but a few new ones had been put out. No room in this garden.
Do you know the name of this cactus?

Yucca still flowering strongly
This is the second set of flower stalks from this Yucca.
Flowers are just starting to form on my largest Yucca.
This wall of Yucca's flowers for at least three months a year.
I think this one is Yucca Gloriosa
Plant of the Week Columnar Cactus
This amazing columnar cactus is covered in bee attracting flowers for at least a couple months a year. I wonder what bee honey would taste like. The large, dinner plate sized flowers are pink tinged and while being a night flowering cactus the flowers do stay open until after lunch.
This plant was a single six foot, two metre column ten years ago. Now it towers over six metres with many columns. I love this cactus and its two little brothers. Yup I have two 2 metre plants which flowered prolifically this year. They can be purchased for two hundred dollars each with free delivery within in Melbourne and parcelled to any where in Australia for the best rate either of us can find.
I happily keep both cacti as they are the only remnants of my tallest plant which was one of two plants from my whole garden which did not survive the mass transplant. As you can imagine moving plants this size or at least a couple years younger was a huge feat. I’d liked to thank Tony, Andrew, Leon, Tony and of course Janet and anyone else who contributed to my moving garden.
If you know the name of the plant can you please let me know via a comment or you can email from www.doyadigit.com
