Return to the Ruth Bancroft Garden (Part 2)
Here we are, back at the Ruth Bancroft Garden, aka Heaven in Walnut Creek (Part 1 here). Thanks to everyone who encouraged the posting of LOTS of photos. Today I’ll be sharing 40 more, starting with these Xanthorrhoea, or Australian grass trees…
Furcraea macdougalii
Agave nickelsiae
A tale of two bloom spikes…
Love those teeth…
Check out the yucca bloom on the right…
A close-up.
Grevillea petrophiloides?
Agave mitis (?)
I think this is Mangave ‘Lavender Lady’.
Aloe capitata (?)
Ruth’s folly…which was once the entrance to the garden.
Near the “off-limits” employees only area.
Agave victoriae-reginae
There were many.
No clue who this handsome fellow is.
Look at that bloom spike circled on the left. It looks like a mangave?
Lots of plants forming on the spike!
Agave ‘Sharkskin’
The shade structure from the opposite end to Monday’s post..
Another sexy Agave nickelsiae, at least I think that’s what it is. Reading this “plant highlight” from the garden’s Brian Kemble has me a little confused.
Aloe polyphylla, the spiral aloe
Okay, my visit to this beautiful garden is drawing to a close…
Will it be another six years before I visit? I sure hope not.

These frozen wolf cubs ate a woolly rhino—and changed what we know about dogs
Two Ice Age wolf pups once thought to be early dogs have been identified as wild wolves, thanks to detailed DNA and chemical analysis. Surprisingly, their last meals included woolly rhinoceros meat—an unusually large prey item—hinting that ancient wolves might have been bigger than today’s. Their well-preserved bodies also shed light on wolf pack behavior and Ice Age environments.
