A cool plant for sure.<br /><br />Opuntia compressa isn't native to California but I think they chose it because it forms a low-growing mat and it's quite visitor-friendly as far as opuntias goes.<br /><br />I have a Dasylirion longissimum in a pot. I love the way it looks, even as a relatively small plant.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-46194166482207656052013-09-03T14:42:07.258-07:002013-09-03T14:42:07.258-07:00Denise, the UC Davis Arboretum is well worth seein...Denise, the UC Davis Arboretum is well worth seeing.
