Red Car Property: Defensive Landscaping

Photo: Diane Edwardson, May 26, 2012.  Night blooming Cereus Cactus flowers are often still open before the sun hits them on the Red Car Property near the Silver Lake Ave Public Staircase.  (Click on photo to enlarge.)

You'll find a mix of pointy Agaves and Cereus near the Silver Lake Ave Public Staircase.  Both are non-native, but drought tolerant plants, in addition to being good choices for criminal & fire resistant landscaping.
