Marlothii is a very iconic aloe. I have some young quiver trees (Aloidenron) I'll plant out when they are bigger. Did you ever see Euphorbia cooperii when it grows naturally?

Hehe the Marlothii is just a baby of about 7 years old and they can grow long stems and turn into trees I know cacti would look good but so many become invaders here, especially if it has cereus in the

Thank you! I love garden design. Surprisingly, there were 2 roses that somehow survived: a climber that I rescued early on and is doing ok in a planter and a miniature climber which is practically invasive

Your first looks like a Rat Tail cactus, you can read about it here The second could be a mammillaria elongata cultivar "Copper King", tell me if that looks right It can be quite hard to ID plants
