excellent quality pictures from the phone~ do any of them have a scent?
I also live down here in So Cal now...the bluest part of OC, luckily. I'm working on a succulent and cactus garden. I have an aloe vera that bloomed last spring and something huge on the front porch. I have no idea what it is but the flower stallk is enormous! I'll have to post a picture of it.
The red bloom looks like a prickly pear to me... or some sort of opuntia. They were the only cactus I saw growing in people's yards when I lived in Portland.
