This part will probably not be any more informative than the last. I do have one groovy link for ya...

Anywho, I had all sorts of ideas about what to buy and make our yard a thing to be admired by all--haaaaa. Then, we had a run-in with a cactus, literally. The little blt's weren't interested in reading every.single.tag. on the plants at Lowes...so we just bought plants on clearance! Hello half off, I lurve you! They are primarily xeriscape too.
