It was great to point the little place out to some businessmen on the plane too. They were shocked to see that it was so small.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720485909592974251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778034964111352393.post-77528659412341446082011-09-15T18:53:42.546-07:002011-09-15T18:53:42.546-07:00The beauty of this place stands in stark contrast ...The beauty of this place stands in stark contrast to all the ugliness that must have taken place there.

The fact that so many of the plants were left there unattended and they lived on is so cool. <br /><br />DG, Thank you for the plant ID!

Of course my favorite shot was from yesterday, all those Agaves in bloom is an amazing sight. Today's mass of Aeonium comes close though! Oh and your Mediterranean plant is an Echium, I believe.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778034964111352393.post-60132526199989173872011-09-12T14:20:45.412-07:002011-09-12T14:20:45.412-07:00Absolutely amazing!
