Summary

[edit]
Description

Dudleya pulverulenta—chalk dudleya. A large, distinctive Dudleya with a range of over 1,000 km from southern Monterey County to nearly mid-peninsula Baja California. The grayish, chalky (or farinose) covering that gives the species its common name protects it from temperature extremes. The red flowers are a favorite of hummingbirds when in bloom. It is a cliff-dweller in nature and those attempting to grow the plant in gardens are advised to plant it in a more-or-less perpendicular position, as shown in this photo. __________________________

Cylindropuntia echinocarpa—Silver cholla—grows in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of southwestern United States and the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California. This very spiny cactus is difficult to grow in gardens outside it normal range. The two plants were photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
