Yeah Sally, I hate when the developers go into an area and clear everything out and then once the houses are in, they plant cookie cutter shrubs and trees. It all looks terrible.

Typ: I love thorny things! I have two William Penn Barberry under one of our windows and last year I planted a Grizzly Bear prickly pear cactus. We also have Mahonia bealei. I actually transplanted that baddy this fall and it was somewhat painful.

Below is a pic of what our cactus will eventually look like. I came with 3 small paddles and grew another last summer so it's pretty tiny yet. It's going to be the centerpiece of our xeriscape garden
