Yucca rotunda grande
Yucca rotunda grande

These look like some kind of big fur balls... if a bit stickery. The entry building is back left so this must have been shot when I initially followed eDDie into the Denver Botanic Gardens. Boy do these guys ever stand out even if the sage colored leaves give it up soon enough. This is not a very native plant in this area of the country but are some of T-Rump's favorite Hispanics... papers please.

I'm back to Botanic Garden shots while I stick with this series that need not end soon but I may need a modicum of relief. I bet I have lots of other captures from everywhere to edit. I'm no ethno-biologistic type but I did blow up the species designation sign. Oops, did I get the name wrong? I shoulda started editing in close.

There's a hazy sky and barely a breath of wind over here so I got few ripples in this shot. It's not the Hanging Gardens of Babylon because they are right side up and not wrong side hanging down. Oh, that's right, the Hanging Gardens were not even in Babylon but actually in Nineveh. The Denver Bionic Gardens takes a load of garden maintenance work even if they are slipping on giving these a hair cut. Boy are all visitors slow to wander and slower to leave. I was lucky to get a clean shot here!

This snap is yet another from an early summer eDDie trek, this time down to the Denver Botanic Gardens I have passed untold times but never invested my time or ponied up the entrance fee. This eDDie bought a season pass so I did another round of sponge bobbing at the right price. Boy, this place is loaded with distractions that were made for me! ...and, did I get distracted. Art in the park adds to the experience. Look everywhere to find art; he was missing earlier.
