My across the street neighbor has the exact same phallus growing high in the sky. Can't wait to see what it blooms like.

Thanks for the info for eating snails, there was a woman here in my park that wanted to grow them as food to sell. I guessed there may be a special diet to make them better/less gamey.

I've enjoyed succulents since I was a kid, when my mother encouraged my siblings and me to build redwood planter boxers. Here are some of my wife's collection. Unfortunately with my wife now in a memory care facility I don't keep them as well groomed as she used to, plus last summer's brutal heat didn't do them any favors.
I always call the Crinkle Leaf Plant "ravioli plant"
Gracilis
Baby Burro's Tail
Moonstone
Ladyfinger Cactus, or as I call it Brain cactus
Black Rose
Plover Eggs
Myrtle Spurge
String of Buttons
Paintbrush - I call it tongue plant
Peanut Cactus
As a kid I used to experiment with cactus grafting. My mother had lots of big prickly pear cactus and I successfully carved holes in the faces of the prickly pear leaves and plugged in pieces of peanut cactus, which would grow and even bloom! Fun times.

Thanks, I have always enjoyed the variety and easy care of succulents. At this point I'm in the maintenance phase rather than additional collecting. But if you see anything of mine you would like to have you're more than welcome to grab a start off any of mine. Most are in need of separating and repotting anyway!

Sorry I have no photos to post but my wife and I have a fair amount of cacti and succulents. My home is a Spanish style and we both loved the southwest. Therefore, my home is filled with various succulents and cacti, to say nothing of the artwork. I even have a Kiva style fireplace in my family room.

Steee-riiike!
started a few years back during the pandemic/draught. Used to have one of them ever-enlarging bushes that spiders and other critters like to hide in at that spot. Took a few weeks of digging out the root system to remove it all. The wife decided to plant succulents in their stead. I think it's turning out pretty nice:

Cactus here in Az. are under threat from the heat.
I think they are being cooked internally, all that water heated from the sun.
Saguaros and agave are taking the big hits.
Tequila and Mescal are threatened.

Been here before, Bike on location pix, Nitt Witt Ridge, this time survivors, I noticed the only plants still living are the succulents, and two palms.
It has been awhile since the listing brochures were stocked, and a realtor sign planted. I think the only available parking for this, I'm in it.
