Cactus Sampler

Here are some photos of cacti we saw in the Las Cruces area - some can be found in "the wild" but all of these were in gardens. And unfortunately, I don't know the names of all of them.

Beavertail Prickly Pear cactus

Teddy Bear Cholla, was told this was a
wicked cactus you did not want in your
cactus garden

Interesting cactus at the Farm & Ranch
Heritage Museum

Mom in front of a giant Agave (which seems to be
the only way they grow down here)

This prickly pear was HUGE, I wish I could show you
just how big it was. Each round section was about
the size of my head.

Another huge Agave at Fort Selden
