Today, we decided to go to see the Botanical Gardens. It was a wonderful, warm day and it was a good thing that we got there early because the parking lot was getting full. Although the gardens were not in full bloom, there was still plenty to see and learn about.
Fishhook Barrel Cactus
One of the many varieties of the Cholla Plant.
The Baha Fairy Duster.
Saguaro Cactus They can grow over 40 feet tall and could weigh as much as a ton.
Things that you might have never known.
Twisted Cactus. Tom is getting better at remembering the names of the many varieties of Cactus plants
Organ Pipe Cactus
Near the Entrance to the gardens, there were some Chihuly pieces of art that almost looked like real plants.
This was the top of one of the cactus plants. It was the only one that we saw that had this shape at the top.
We spoke to one of the employees at the gardens and mentioned Maine's Botanical Gardens and she said that she had seen lats of pictures. One of the people that worked in Phoenix, now works for the gardens in Maine.
Thanks for keeping an eye out for Grammie

Aren't the gardens great? Glad you got to see them. It's not a New England garden. We used to walk through just for ideas for the plantings around our still house. No pictures of re-bar insects!
