Sacred ground 1-2 : Autumnal tranquility in the garden

[Silas_Sancona]

Other things highlights from Boyce Thompson..  Desert-y stuff first..

Wallace Garden Yuccas..





































Both labeled as Y. thompsiana..  ( who is the imposter? )




>>>>>>

A few Cacti / Agave..










...for Tom, ..in Tucson..















..Where's his buddy??   Flowering / fruiting Agave sabastiana  ..yanked? ( i hope  )  Makes sense if the Arboretum is planning on propagating it for future sales / distribution to other gardens / additional specimens ..as they should.

...And a Crested Euphorbia lomelii ( ....or macrocarpus )



>>>>>>>>>        >>>>>>>>>>>>

Interesting Eucalyptus,  and a fall flowering Acacia from AUS.

E. formanii




Not sure on the sp. but some monsters non the less..






That Acacia..








Other trees / shrubby things of interest...

Boyce Thompson's Sonoran Sea Grapes, Coccoloba goldmanii   looking good after a wet summer..






Still no ID on this, but was fruiting this time ( attention getting as well ) .. We'll find out soon enough, if i can get seed going.




New to me..

 Texas / Chihuahuan Desert highlights..

Twisted Acacia, Vachellia schaffneri





Eve's Necklace, Styphnolobium affine







Mexican Redbud, Cercis canadensis var. mexicana



Mexican buckeye, Ungnadia speciosa




BIG ( for this area ) Texas Persimmon, Diospyros texana.. Kind of surprised that only the smaller ones around the garden had fruit on them.




Ehretia anacua


Monster Tipuana tipu





Chilean Palo Verde, Geoffroea decorticans  in bark - shedding mode.
