B&B Cactus Farm In Tucson, Arizona (January 12, 2007)
 |
Joel Smith, one of the premier cactus lovers on the Cactus Forum, really encouraged me
to visit B&B Cactus Farm on the east side of Tucson. It is one of the largest cactus retailers in the city
and I was no disappointed whatsoever with the wide variety of cacti and succulents they offered.
B&B Cactus Farm is located at 11550 East Speedway and their phone number is 721-4687. |

Near the entrance is a beautiful cactus garden with a walking path. |
 |
There are many variations of the prickly pear cactus, and I have been recently intrigued
by the prickly pear tree. They seem to grow likes weeds out here in southern Arizona and I captured quite
a few on camera while in Tombstone, Arizona. |

Here are four unique and interesting cacti that "made it" among the many photos from my visit.
TOP LEFT - Not sure of the name, but I like the color, shape and blooms.
TOP RIGHT - Cacti with red-shaded thorns are a favorite of mine.
BOTTOM LEFT - This is a cactus that grows naturally in Argentina. ("Trichocereus Camarguensis")
BOTTOM RIGHT - A pack of bright golden barrel cacti.
