The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

I think the first thing that smacks you in the face is the color. I have a tendency to be a little on the green side and when I see gardens like this exceptional garden I always delight in nature's rainbow. The pachypodium, mast trees, and desert rose, old and still in the pot, are what make your garden come alive if you can get past the size of the borhidiana!

Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you for sharing sur4z! Peter

Wow ! Great garden ! I loved the bromeliad beds !

If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.

While posting on another thread I remembered this thread and thought some may enjoy this article about the history of this place and Palm Beach...It also contains better pictures than the one i posted.    Enjoy!-Peter
