While visiting Malibu, I toured Serra Canyon Ranch Nursery. My good fortune included a chance to walk through the landscape with a group that included Gary Lyons, Curator of the Desert Garden at The Huntington. Gary offered enlightening details, such as the identification of strikingly exotic, structural specimens on the property.

Amazing plants. I would never see these in my part of the country, though we do have various succulents.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb,
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of the specimens I saw here. I would have liked to stick around and commune with them;~D
The views of the plants in pots at the nuresery are breathtaking. What an array of colors and how beautifully displayed.
ReplyDeleteWow, this reminds me so much of back home. That palo verde looks amazing
