You want to know something funny? Or at least I think it’s funny. I’m just as overwhelmed looking at my photos as I was when visiting Huntington Gardens. Is that normal?
Have a look see–and tell me what you think.

Another lush landscapy vista.

A little spiky this. A little spiky that.

Fancy to the left of you. Fancy to the right.

A breathtaking candelabra.

And this.

Ho hum, more splendor.

I missed the name of this beauty. Anyone?

I don’t think the Garden of Eden was like this. No fig leaves–at least in this section.

Here’s a happy Prickly Pear. Doesn’t this look like a fun party?

Hah. When I first looked at the above photo, I thought, too bad about that telephone pole.

Head slap. Talk about stranger in a strange land. So disorienting.

So much to explore. If I lived anywhere near, I’d snap up a membership. I recall thinking at the time, reasonably priced, considering the wonder of it all.

Of course, cropping changes everything. I submit for your musings.

Some of the plants didn’t have plaques, but there were tags. I just couldn’t bring myself to reach in there and read this one. Danger, Will Robinson.

I wish I could grow Barrel Cactus. They are so much fun to gaze upon, no?

I was surprised by the amount of shade. Not Pacific Northwest style shade, but still shade, of a sort. Kinda.

It’s true. Such beauty exists. I’ll get back to you, because there’s lots more.
Cheers
