As you might have guessed I'm showcasing the foliage of our homestead, but the real beauty is that they are all native. Green greenery :) You should work with the natural beauty of your location. If you live somewhere prone to droughts work in succulents and forget about palm trees.
I'm not even sure what this particular plant is? Maybe a weed? Haha
When we began our hunt to purchase land we knew we wanted trees. Most land for sale was "home ready" which basically means that the property was mowed down flat leaving nothing natural or green behind. Giving you a blank canvas. That isn't for us. We have, of course, had to do some clearing but it has been very strategical so we could maintain the natural wild life habitat. You should live with nature not against it.
Hip hip hooray, it's the Prickly Pear Cactus, the state plant of Texas. Earlier in the year we had the state flower as well, the Bluebonnet.
Hope you enjoyed. Stay classy:)
Loving the pictures of the plants!! They are so inviting and bright! :)
