Orchid Cactus blooms are beautiful. A creamy yellow ones are also getting ready to bloom. I got these from Cactus Jungle in Berkeley many years ago. They were plagued with some bug or disease one year, and I cut them both way down, and they survive. 

The Aloe Vera were given to me by a friend. They are happy in my garden. In fact they are so happy, little baby Aloes are popping up everywhere from their underground runners. 

Been too hot to do any gardening the last 2 days. Seems a little bit cooler today. Will be going out of town for 2 weeks. My plants and dog will miss me.
