I came to love these plants, particularly the desert mallow, which I did include in my Cave Creek garden. And, yes, some of those plants are very dangerous for children, particularly pencil plant which they sell in the nurseries and deceptively so. It appears fairly smooth on the outside, but if broken open, the gel inside can render you temporarily BLIND (not to mention the pain). I always thought it should be sold with a little warning attached. Wouldn't you think? Did you find ocotillo fences? Another fav! Thank you for sharing your journey!

This hills in the background of the fourth photo from the top look very much like some areas near my home. We have a very similar native indian painbrush as well. So beautiful!
