I was in Disneyland last week and like on most trips to SoCal, I was having some serious succulent growing envy. This plant lust went into overdrive at the exit of the Finding Nemo submarine ride in Disneyland. They really do look like something from the ocean floor....
Agave blue flame is a favourite of mine!
It's especially wonderful when surrounded by a sea of succulents and the low warm glow of summer evenings in SoCal... It's something I could get used to.
And is that echium candicans? Oh how I love California!
And if your succulent lusty plant envy wasn't on overload yet, check out this glorious combination of colors! I hope you all are having a great Wednesday!!!
Lots of succulent envy going on here as well after those photos.
ReplyDeleteAren't they fabulous!!
DeleteThanks for sharing your photos, Louis. I haven't been to Disneyland in many years now (despite the fact that it's "freeway close") so it's interesting to see that the landscaping department has finally gotten more with it with respect to plant choices.
ReplyDeleteThere are some really cool plantings there. Especially in Cars land. That whole area is really cool.
DeleteWho needs amusement rides with landscaping like that?
ReplyDeleteI did lots of garden gazing!!!
DeleteWhat a botanical treasure trove California is. Oh to be able to live there...
ReplyDeleteIndeed. What is your ideal Cali location? I almost immediately wrote "SoCal" as if to assume that of course you'd need to be within the solid zone 10 territory but then remembered that's almost the entire cali coast. Oh to dream....
