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\u00a0Huntington Gardens<\/a>.\u00a0Is that normal?<\/p>\n

Have a look see–and tell\u00a0me what you think.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
Euphorbia, Cactus, NoId. And no idea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another\u00a0lush landscapy vista.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We’re not in Kansas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A little spiky this. A little spiky that.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cleistocactus ritteri<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fancy to the left of you. Fancy to the right.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Barrel Cactus\u00a0or Megan<\/a> says, “most photographed plant in the world.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A breathtaking\u00a0candelabra.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Stenocereus dumortieri <\/a>aka Candelabra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And this.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cleistocactus strausii<\/a> aka Woolly Torch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ho hum,\u00a0more splendor.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Notocactus magnificus<\/a> and\u00a0Pilosocereus chrysacanthus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I missed the name of this beauty. Anyone?<\/p>\n

\"\"
For now, I’m calling it Spiny Melon with Yellow Flower.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t think the Garden of Eden was like this. No fig leaves–at least in this section.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Hillside hangout. Agave and Cactus and Porcupines. Noooo, just kidding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a happy Prickly Pear. Doesn’t this look like a fun party?<\/p>\n

\"\"
Opuntia, Agave, Barell Cactus–and various friends.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hah. When I first looked at the above photo, I thought, too bad about that telephone pole.<\/p>\n

\"\"
That ain’t no telephone pole.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Head slap. Talk about stranger in a strange land. So disorienting.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Blooming Opuntia & more friends.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So much to explore. If I lived anywhere near, I’d snap up a membership<\/a>.\u00a0I recall thinking at the time, reasonably priced, considering the wonder of it all.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Interesting juxtaposition. Wild plants. Tame pathways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course, cropping changes everything. I submit for your musings.<\/p>\n

\"\"
In the wild–or just off the pathway?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some of the plants didn’t have plaques, but there were\u00a0tags. I just couldn’t bring myself to reach in there and\u00a0read this one. Danger, Will Robinson.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Mandatory shot of Barrel Cactus Corner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wish I could grow Barrel Cactus. They are so much fun to gaze upon, no?<\/p>\n

\"\"
Dreamy, but I wouldn’t walk in there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was surprised by the amount of shade. Not Pacific Northwest style shade, but still shade, of a sort. Kinda.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Agave parryi<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s true. Such beauty exists. I’ll get back to you, because there’s lots more.<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
