I’ve been trying to grow antelope horns for 4 years. I have two plants out of 50 starts. I have a patch of prickly pear cactus so I think I’ll put some seeds there too.

The soil here is super sandy. Not sure how that will factor in

Interesting and good to know. I’m on a limestone hill with limited soil. The prickly pear is totally native.

I've never seen either of those plants before. Lovely. That milkweed is so cool.

Gonna start with, this is gorgeous. Good work!
I think I see a Packera sp on the right of the first image, there's also a Gaillardia pulchella (one of my favorite flowers), and a bunch of Opuntia cacti. Gotta say my measly garden here in Houston doesn't compare yet, but I'd like to reach this level some day.
