This beautiful view is from theBogus Basin Recreation Area .
This strange short succulent is an intergeneric hybrid calledAloinopsisthat was breed from species aboriginal to South Africa that are surprisinglywinter hardyas long as they do n’t get too wet in the winter . On this seedling , the bloom are canary yellow on the first day they open and then age to orange .
A beautifulAgavehavardianacollects snow in the cold of wintertime . This is one of the hardiest of the agave species , surviving into Zone 6 or 7 and especially doing well in juiceless mood .
Usually I remember of lupin as being grown for their flowers , but this one , Lupinusalbifrons , is treasured for its incrediblesilvery foliage .
Pelargoniumis a genus most of us be intimate for the tender zonary geranium that are so normally grow asannuals , but this species , genus Pelargonium endlicherianum , is winter hardy with good drainage , surviving into Zone 6 . Nich raise thisfrom come .
The hardy barbellate pear , Opuntiawoodsii(Zones 5–9 ) , has beautiful flowers . In addition to them , this one has pad that stay unshakable and upright during the wintertime rather than shriveling up and collapsing in the coldness like so many of the stale - unfearing briery pears do .
Cotyledon orbiculatalooks like it would be a tender plant , but it can survive into Zone 6 in the right conditions . It has beautiful silver fine-grained farewell and bright orangish flowers .
Castillejaintegra(Zones 4–8 ) withPenstemonheterophyllus(Zones 6–10 ) flush together in the bounce . Both will rebloom if bring down back before they set seed .
Echinocereus triglochidatus(Zones 6–9 ) is an unbelievable hardy cactus . This especial plant is special to Nich because it was pick out by his hubby , Robb , out of thousands of plant for its flower sizing , coloring , and overall pattern . Clearly Robb has good tasting !
