Palms, Agave, Yucca, and Cacti, Oh My.

 Remember the progression;  first we were just sitting on a pile of sand, then added some, and added some more.  But it still looked like a pile of sand.




Now we have changed the look of the front.  It is hard to see all the plants in these photos.

But there are now a lot of plants.  You'll have to wait for Alese to do more detail on her blog (Mustang Islander).  There are 23 palms across the front of the house and another 20 or so along the West and back (North) property lines.  There are no large palms; yet.  Our tallest are just under 3 feet tall.  

We have different varieties, but until they get some height we won't know what exactly what we have. We did buy 6 Mediterranean Fan Palms, and we have Mexican Fans, but other than the Mediterraneans,  the rest are the result of Alese growing plants from seed, or rescuing babies before a lawn mower got to them.   

There are over 100 agave plants -- most are only a couple of inches tall. The plumeria is almost 6 feet tall though and in flower. Alese will probably tell the stories about those, the yuccas, and the cactus on her blog.
