Huasteca Canyon - Agave albopilosa

Agave albopilosa in Huasteca Canyon, Monterrey, Mexico

The cultivation of plants brings endless smiles to the fields of the initiated. As a lover of flora, being able to grow plants in your garden or greenhouse is truly a joyous pastime. One in which I proudly devote far too much time. However, for me there is a level above…

The Widest Tree Trunk in the World: Arbol del Tule

I didn’t know it before my visit to Oaxaca, Mexico, but this state is the location of the widest tree trunk in the world. Once I found this out, it of course became a must-see stop. Sadly, my traveling companions were not as excited. After a very long day touring the ruins…

Palm Canyon - Washingtonia filifera

Hiking Palm Canyon in the Anza-Borrego Desert to see the Washingtonia filifera oasis

After a great day exploring the Anza-Borrego Desert wildflower super bloom, I decided to head back out to Borrego Springs a week later to hike Palm Canyon to see the Washingtonia filifera oasis. To enjoy Anza-Borrego’s most famous hike, it needs to happen in the spring before it gets too hot. The…

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers - Desert Sunflower (Geraea canescens)

A visit to the Anza-Borrego Desert to see the wildflower super bloom

So unless you have been living without the Internet the last month, it would have been impossible for someone living in Southern California not to have heard about the “wildflower super bloom” happening out in the Anza-Borrego Desert. It has been all over the news and social media since February. The “wildflower…

2017 Blooms Aloe rupestris Flowers

High winter rainfall has made for a great Aloe blooming season

As one might have guessed from many of my recent posts, I really do love aloes. I have found them to be quite adaptable in almost any garden setting. Along with my xeriscaping, I have intermingled aloes throughout my tropical areas as well. With my free-draining decomposed granite, they actually do very…

PalmGain Fertilizer

PalmGain 8-2-12 Palm Tree Fertilizer – Review

It’s probably my biology degree speaking, but I am a real nerd when it comes to fertilizer. I love to research the heck out of the subject and I admittedly way over analyze. Those that regularly follow my plant blog know that I am a palm person first. So my fertilizer regimen is…

El Cajon Mountain Dudleya edulis

Rock climbing on El Cajon Mountain to see Dudleya edulis.

It doesn’t get any better than being able to see the plants that you cultivate in their native habitat. Why? Because no matter how hard you try, you can never fully recreate in your garden what Mother Nature does on her own. Or do you really believe you can do in a…

SDCSS Winter 2017 Show - Aloe Table

2017 San Diego Cactus and Succulent Society Winter Show and Sale

Is it really already that time of year for the San Diego Cactus and Succulent Society Winter Show and Sale? What is even more hard for me to believe is that the last time I did a post on the winter show was back in 2014. Three years ago! I guess it is…

Thanks for visiting! Married to Plants is the lifestyle blog brainchild of me, Len Geiger. I like to consider myself a Mediterranean climate gardening aficionado with far too much interest in the plants that grow in this climate to be normal.
