On my way to visit Jim Bishop’s garden (January 2025, San Diego) I passed this interesting garden full of bromeliads. Well, and that magnificent palms…
But on to the bromeliads, which are everywhere in this small corner property.
It really does boggle my mind, that these plants grow in the ground here. I can’t imagine living that reality.
If anyone saw me wandering up and down the sidewalk snapping these photos they must have thought I was crazy.
But then I saw this!
You wanna talk crazy, maybe this was left over from the holidays? A bromeliad Christmas tree?
The bright afternoon sunshine was making it difficult to take photos…
So I swung back by later, after I left Jim’s. Now the lights were on…
Bromeliads, sedum, staghorns, epiphyllum, tillandsia, all the fun stuff!
Nice work, you people who made this.
More holiday lights, on the house and fence. I’m calling it holiday since it was January 14th, but who knows, maybe they leave these lights up year ’round?
A couple more hellstrip shots…
And then I moved across the street to capture photos of a neighbor’s garden.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to garden in this climate…
