The Huntington Botanical Garden’s Greenhouse

Are you sick of vacation pictures yet? I hope not because I changed my bio on the July back page article in Alabama Gardener magazine and promised vacation pictures on my blog, so I need to add a few more posts to cover everything. The article mentions that my travel companion, Dan Heims, president of Terra Nova Nurseries, got us into the greenhouse that is usually locked at The Huntington Botanical Gardens.

That’s Dan taking pictures of the living stones. I had no idea there were so many different types.

Echeveria 'Silver on Red'

Silver on Red was my favorite of the Echeveria.

The signs were very informative. I thought these were the most interesting.

Here’s a link to the first post, and here’s a link to the second post. Since both blogs are busy talking about vacation, I posted pictures of my garden on The Plant Ho facebook page. Here’s a link to that if you’re interested.

Speaking of facebook, I had a friend request the other day, and although I don’t usually accept unless I know the person or they’re in horticulture, I made an exception for this guy because his profile picture was a sign that said, “I’m trying to give up sexual innuendo. But it’s hard. So hard.”
