Looking forward to cacti time! They bloom a little late this year. I think it's because it's been a colder winter
Cacti in the Majorelle Garden just outside Marrakesh. Majorelle was a watercolorist, but these gardens are his creative masterpiece. The garden has been open to the public since 1947. In 1980 the garden was owned by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Berge. After the death of Yves Saint Laurent in 2008, his ashes were scattered in the garden, where there is a commemorative memorial dedicated to him. There is a tiny bit of the museum painted in Majorelle Blue in this picture.
The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea)is one of the defining plants of the Sonoran Desert. These plants are large, tree-like columnar cacti that develop branches (or arms) as they age, although some never grow arms. These arms generally bend upward and can number over 25. Saguaros are covered with protective spines, white flowers in the late spring, and red fruit in summer.
These folks have replaced the traditional barking dog with ‘guard cacti’. Really who says cacti in everyday speak? The fence is only in the front of the property and does not extend around the side. Obviously there are plans for more cactus plants in the future. I think there should be a sign saying, “Beware of Cacti. Get the point? You could be stuck until the police arrive.” As Robin would say, “Holy prickly situation, Batman.”
After many days of cool and rain, it warmed and the sun appeared. I moved many of my cactus out from their winter quarters.

While visiting my sister in Victoria, Texas April 2021 we did some touring of wineries that were close by. Along the way we stopped on the roadside when we saw a potential photo shoot. The wineries of course had their own scenic landscapes with the grape vines and the river close by.

These are some quite impressive cacti in the greenhouses at our zoo and botanical garden. Some of them are more than 100 years old.
There is a new exhibition at the orangery of the nearby park where I go at least once every week. The theme are indoor plants and IMHO it's not very interesting but I like this cacti display.
