      Ha-Ha. Now that's something hard to imagine. Your impeccable self...drooling?! But if anything will do it, Rich's collection would be it.

    Some very fascinating cacti and succulents!! Interesting and beautiful cultivars being created by Japanese collectors. I’ve seen gorgeous and very expensive cultivars of Gasteria coming from Japan.
    I could have watched a much longer tour of the collection outside and in the greenhouse; just awesome!! Hope he has his collection provided for in a will!!

      Debra, can grow most things here but requires a lot dedication, especially in the winter.
      In the summer months May - October I leave all my 🌵 and Succulents out all the time and let the rain and sun ☀ take care of them.
      Only water the pots if very dry.
      We do get temperatures up to 100f as we did last year.

    What a beautiful collection. Makes me sorry I live in New Mexico where the winters are too cold for most of these plants.

    Would absolutely love to spend time there day dreaming. Amazing ariocarpus collection and cyphostemmas. It’s like the desert botanical gardens collection but in your own backyard! Thanks for the video!

    I would love to see a walkthrough video of Rich's landscape. I moved from the Bay Area, CA to Phoenix, AZ August 2021. I enjoy agave the most but being in this region of the desert I will be exposed to vast amounts of cactus and will enjoy learning about them.

    • @QueenofSucculents
      @QueenofSucculents  2 роки тому

      Sounds good. We'll turn you into a cactus lover. And do watch for more videos of great gardens, from my trip to your area.

    Wonderful tour. Impressed with Debra’s pronouncing! I have a cactus that bloomed beautiful long pink blooms, was many years old and burned up when our house and garden were lost in a CA wildfire. Can I send you a photo?

    • @QueenofSucculents
      @QueenofSucculents  2 роки тому

      Thanks Carol. That's awful about losing your home. I also live in a wildfire-prone area of Southern CA, and am happy to help any way I can. Best way to email me is through my website, debraleebaldwin.com/contact/.
      Btw, some of those names were completely unfamiliar. (Wild guesses on pronunciation, LOL.)
