Still thinking back fondly on my WARM and SUNNY visit to Tucson last week.
One day we visited a really great public garden called Tohono Chul Park. Check it out here: https://tohonochul.org/
OR just enjoy some of my photos:
An Aloe (sorry, forgot to ID it better than that, but isn't this a beaut?! and it has sprouted some babies!)
A Cardboard Palm - kinda cool - Could be mistaken for dead....lol
Here's an Ocotillo Cactus:
Close-up you can see it is starting to leaf out for spring:
Here's a Cutie Pie PinCushion cactus - well, that's not the botanical name but sometimes you have to improvise ;0) :
ANd another crazy cactus I forget the name of. One of my friends I was with is also a gardener but she lives in San Diego, so she was quite familiar with all these plants. Me, I"m just a Zone 6 kinda gal (Northern US)
We also saw some crazy animals ;0) But they were rather tame....
AND OF COURSE< MOST IMPORTANTLY>>>>
Of course, we have never been known to follow all the rules...
Hope you enjoyed this little stroll around Tohono CHul Garden in Tucson, Arizona. Still kinda chilly here in NJ (well, one day this week it went to 66F....what?! well, I did some pruning of my boxwood) but it's back to 25F.
But lucky me....off to another warm destination tomorrow. I'll report when I get back!!!
THat's it for now. Saturday night and it's time for a bit of wine and cheese please!
Happy Happy Hour....
