This Tucson entrance area is drip irrigated for cacti and other desert plants to thrive here. Notice uncluttered design with few plants that don’t compete with each other for water. Odd numbers of plants are positioned as specimen plants or “sculptures” with attention to shapes and colors of stones and gravel as backdrop.
I am told that Tucson area averages 15 inches of rain a year. Of course it matters when the rain falls and how well it is received. If I were there when the cactus blooms, I would smile.

Interesting, and perfect for that part of the country, but I miss blossoms.
