Another visit to the Arizona Garden

2/1/2013

 
Yesterday I had another opportunity to visit the lovely Arizona Garden at Stanford University. I'm not sure whether they're planting new things all the time or whether I simply notice something different every time I go there. I suspect it's the latter. In any case, behold!

First, check out this gorgeous agave parriya. Even its pups are having pups!

Then there were these gorgeous cacti. Really interesting shapes and colors.

And then THIS agave, which is sending up a bloom. I don't think I've ever seen one at this exact stage before. Isn't it awesome? Nature in action!

Lastly, I was arrested again by the beauty of this agave. Can anyone identify this one? I'd really love to add one to my collection. I love the white edging on the leaves, especially with the reddish tips.

And BTW, speaking of my agaves, the quadricolor I showed you in my last post is doing quite well! I cut off the damaged leaves and now... Let's just say it sits quite conveniently against a wall. (DLB or any other experts: should I consider core drilling? Seems like an interesting way to propagate, and I've never tried it before... Though I'm gunshy about possibly damaging it further...)
