Why yes, there is more. Tons more. And we didn’t even make through all the gardens. It reminds of when my Art History teacher recounted living in Paris. It\u00a0got to a point, he said, where he’d think, Ho Hum, another wondrous\u00a0cathedral<\/a>, and then waltz past with a baguette slung across\u00a0his shoulder. “It was\u00a0like trying to eat a whole cheesecake.”<\/p>\n

Yep. Huntington’s\u00a0Desert Garden<\/a> is wondrous–but I\u00a0wouldn’t want to try and eat it\u00a0in one sitting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
Pachypodium lamerei<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That trunk is groovy.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Isn’t it familiar looking, and yet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And this lovely scenario.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Part sun. Part shade. Those were the light conditions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I can’t remember if I saw the individual plants first, or the field of Puyas. Overwhelming I tell you.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Puya venusta<\/a>, a field of super spiny.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My husband found a fellow photographer with his same\u00a0lens. Excitement ensued.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Puya venusta with men discussing camera lenses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The blooms are something.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Puya venusta blooms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nestled next to more\u00a0fantastical plants.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Puya venusta and companion plantings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s Bill<\/a>, getting back to plant stalking–camera at the ready.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Bill, with Justin to the right, unknown gent to the left–and Megan at lead.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And look at this crazy thing. The sign says “Cereus horribarbus” the internets says it’s actually\u00a0Cereus hildmannianus subsp. uruguayanus ‘Monstrosus’.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cereus hildmannianus subsp. uruguayanus ‘Monstrosus’ or so says the internets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
Here it is mingling with Yucca brevifolia or another Yucca?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t see Joshua Trees often enough to know for sure about the one above.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Such extraordinary plants exist. Qu’est-ce que c’est? The big tree.\u00a0Late breaking: Megan identifies as Dracaena draco!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It looks Yucca-ish to me as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Beaucarnea recurvata (?)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I look at this plant, I think Fraggle Rock, which I later realized I’d co-opted from one of Megan’s early posts at Nestmaker. Still apt though, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

I can’t remember if this is the same tree from a different angle, or an entirely different tree. This one is clearly marked Beaucarnea recurvata.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Beaucarnea recurvata<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well, clearly marked if you stand on one foot, lean sideways, and have good eyesight.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Some signs were smaller than others.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
Agave mapisaga ‘Lisa’<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ll let you go now. I’ve been dying to read other blog posts on Huntington Gardens, but I’ve been holding off to avoid plagiarizing–the Fraggle’s quip notwithstanding.<\/p>\n
