Just Green for Monday
Another week is here, and we are officially in spring even if the weather turns on us. It is colder this last week than the week before. The process of blooming seems to take much longer, or it could be of my anticipation for colors and flowers.
I have these cacti for over two year in my little garden outside. I thought that it would not come back after the winter, but it did. These cacti were very hardy and beautiful as border to my flowers.
I had a row of these babies and I like them very much since they are very easy to care for. I just put them in the soil, and watch them grow.
When everything is dried and died, these cacti stayed green and finally turned reddish color. They were the first to come back and last to go in my garden.
Have a great Monday!
Enjoy other entries at Mosaic Monday!

Finally! My computer is so slow. I waited 5 minutes for the comment box to open. :-) Icy, I like your plants. These little ones are sturdy and attractive, and I'm with you - come on spring & flowers! I saw some Saturday & robins!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week!
Sounds like a good plant to have, if it is that easy to care for.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo captures.

I really enjoy cacti as well. They have a character all their own. These are great shots, Icy.
ReplyDeleteWe call these succulents 'house leeks'! My grandmother had a ton of them on her roof, and I've always loved them. I had some till a few years back when a particularly nasty frost killed them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me about them, I'm going to get some more!
Wow, they are gorgeous. I'm really surprised they survived the winter. I lost loads of plants this winter and maybe should invest in some of those.
ReplyDeleteYour plants look great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macros, Icy! You did a good job on those greens, I can even see the tiny hairs at the side of the leaves. The mosaic is very refreshing! :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing succulents in a garden, they add a different texture to most of the other plants. These are great macro shots Icy.
