The California Trip, Part Seven: Lotusland
Of course we visited Lotusland. I filled my camera's memory card during the two-hour tour, and the camera wasn't even set to highest res. There is so much to say about this garden--but what really stands out is the repetition of plants. Walking along a large drift of old Beaucarnea recurvata was something I won't forget.

Fantastic and fantastical! I've never heard of this place, but now I'd love to see it in person.
That lion would eat BOTH of my lions for breakfast! *grin*
I really love that urn of dripping succulents in the middle of the sheared-wall-shrub circle. Wow.
I have read so much about this place. Thanks for sharing!
What a fantastic place to visit. I'm really enjoying this California trip. Thanx for sharing it with us.
Is that Aloe plicatilis in the last picture. They are beautiful!
Wow! I love that succulent "tree" in the middle of the brickwork...at first it looked like an actual fountain. I dig that statuary too.
Awesome. I too love the succulent enclosed in the hedge, as well as the bromeliad forest (!) and the aloe (?) at the end. And, as a Californian, I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of Lotusland. Thanks for the enlightenment.
By the way, think I could find a clamshell like that in Lake Erie? That would be SWEET in my garden! :D
Sweet. One of these days I will have to make something of a pilgrimage and get up there to see that. Lotusland is a fantasm. Too much for the camera, I suspect.
Great shots!
Frankly I am a bit concerned. This visit to Lotusland could exacerbate your Seussian tendancies.
