few pictures I took while walking through the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix AZ
Saguaro grow all over the desert area here and some grow retarded. The tour guide
said its not known why some of them do this......
and believe it or not, moss does grow in the desert
a beautiful in bloom display of Aloe
Cholla is common also but this variety is nothing like what I'm used to seeing.
called paper spined cholla grows in Western Argentina and Brazil
Organ pipe cactus
Mammillaria Compressa from Central America
I thought these were kinda cool cause they grow in little mounds
more to come, including the Chihully exhibit that was going on there.
