After we visited the Orchid Show and Sale at the Botanic Garden, we took our usual stroll out through the various sections of the garden. We visited the Japanese Garden, the Fuchsia Garden, the Dahlia Garden, the Rose Garden and, of course, the Cactus and Succulent Garden, where this photo was taken. We also visited the upper and lower meadows, the Children’s Garden, the Water Wise Garden, the Vegetable Garden, the Pumpkin Patch, and – well, it goes on and on. It is always relaxing and we enjoy all of it.
I’m not sure of the name of the particular cactus in the photo, but it is similar to a prickly pear and produces these pretty yellow flowers. Click on the image for full-sized view.
By the way, I put up a Slide Show on the other site, if you’re interested in seeing the Orchids we saw today.
