Denver Botanic Gardens, let's go! Chapter Three of Five...

In case you want to start at the top, I've done two other posts on my visit to the Denver Botanic Gardens, they're here: Chapter One, Chapter Two. I plan to finish off my coverage with a trio of posts this week. Today we'll start at the beginning...

The Garden Bloggers were met in front of the garden by Panayoti Kelaidis, Senior Curator and Director of Outreach at the DBG. He welcomed us, gave us a bit of history...

And then took off through the garden, we followed.

Not down that pathway (truth be told I never did make it down that pathway).

No we were on a mission: lunch. We ate in the center of the garden and were then on our own for a hour or so (a painfully short amount of time). I returned the next day, post-Fling, with Andrew. What follows is a mash-up of photos from both visits.

Yucca faxoniana, on the left.

Yucca thompsoniana here, and resting.

The water-smart garden...

Marrubium rotundifolium, this grows in my garden.

Agave utahensis

And again, because it's beautiful.

There were a lot of different opuntia in the garden, I didn't catch the name of most of them.

Yucca linearifolia

Agave parryi

Salvia jurisicii

There were several sculptures in the garden. This one I liked, most of them I did not.

And there was water...

And trough gardens...

More from the garden later this week...
