It's just very important to me that you know prairie-style gardens exist.

Ok. Thank you. Carry on.

This looks like fasciated growth. The apical meristem can become malformed, causing new tissue to appear stretched and twisted.

Last I saw this thread there were over a hundred comments but not a single person could agree on what this is or what happened

Ridiculous

The purslane flowered! I honestly didn’t realize they could have fully opened flowers like this. I had just assumed they were cleistogamous since I hadn’t seen the flowers and just saw the fruit and seeds but I guess in certain conditions they open up. Or maybe they open up normally but are just just extremely short-lived?

There's a bunch of purslane varieties grown for their flowers!

it's so chilling to walk through an area where the houses are surrounded by blank sterile lawns and see a big lilac bush in full bloom without a single bug on it. No bees, no butterflies, not a stir of activity.

Opuntia growing epiphytically. This is not that uncommon, and occurs most often in trees with deeply fissured bark and less than vertical growth habits, such as mesquites and live oaks. Animals eat the fruit and then defecate on branches. If conditions are right, the seeds will germinate in place. The main problem is that larger growing species will often topple over and break as they get too big to defy wind and gravity - not necessarily a deal breaker for the cacti, which can root from pads that fall onto the ground (or another hospitable surface). Indeed, most of a cemetery's most successful midsized inhabitants are plants that can withstand occasionally being torn out with a backhoe and pushed into a pile:

In this region, that includes Yucca rupicola and cemetery iris alongside Opuntia.

Hey you guys want to see an actively hilarious bonsai tree?

There is a magic machine that sucks carbon out of the air. It costs very little and builds itself. It’s called a tree.
