Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

Unintended Companions

In May 2025 I planted a Spineless Prickly Pear (Opuntia ellisiana) that had been propagated from a mature plant in San Antonio. It still has only its two original vertical pads, but they have grown in size since planting.

Volunteer Texas Bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) have taken advantage of open soil beside the Prickly Pear and so for now they are nestled together as an unusual (but rather Texan) pairing.

About Me

Nature Lover.
Inquisitive Observer.
Student Gardener.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
