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.
