We try to get out once a week to see something, just to be outdoors. We visited Boyce, located about an hour northeast of us, about 6 weeks ago, nothing in bloom. This past Friday we went again to see what has changed. Pretty day, a little bit too hot for this time of year (90) but nice to be in a garden. Nicely maintained, not many people. By June 1 they will be open from 6am to noon. Gets way too hot for people to be hiking/walking in the high desert.
These are pictures from last Friday's time. We were disappointed that more cacti were blooming - we missed the full bloom by 2 weeks. Who knew? Such strange weather, global warming is really taking a toll on all.
Enjoy the pics - we will go back later this fall.
Fascinating Boojum Tree (from S Mexico)
Very small budding flowers on Saguaro
Trying to get our Golden Barrel Cacti to grow like this
Love these Golden Barrels!
Eucalyptus Tree - a big 'un!
We bought a small Argentine giant cactus while there
