I just turned in my article for the July back page of Alabama Gardener. It’s about my trip to California with Dan Heims, president of Terra Nova Nurseries, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I’m a little burned out from writing, so there’s not going to be many words in this post, mainly it’s just pictures, but they’re pretty pictures. I took them at Lotusland, which was my absolute favorite part of the trip.
Clivia
Along the walk to the entrance, there were big beds of Clivia in full bloom. On a side note, one thing I learned on this trip is that Clivia does NOT rhyme with trivia. The first I is long, and now it’s not as fun to say as I thought it was.
Yellow Clivia
They have a nice collection of begonias.
You can tell that you’re about to enter a new area of the garden.
After walking between those cool topiaries, I turned around and took this next picture.
Then we walked through a little forest of these weird trees. You can see the stone-lined path we took.
I love this next picture. The cactus looks alive…well of course it’s alive, but it looks almost human, or maybe it looks like a bunch of zombies all hunched over and dragging their zombie arms.

If I had driven, I might have bought this little guy. He was for sale in the gift shop. I don’t know why, but I totally love him.
I have many more pictures, but they can’t all fit in one post, so this will be continued later.
I visited Lotusland several years ago and absolutely loved it. What a weird and wonderful place. It must be nice to have that kind of money!
The story I heard was that the women who financed it married older, wealthy men, and when they died, she got the inheritance and married another. After many husbands she could afford Lotusland. It’s sad and happy at the same time.
I have always wanted to see this garden. I have read lots about the woman who created it. She was fascinating.
You would love this garden Phillip.
