Now on to other gardens in Lotusland!

Lotusland - Cactus Garden

 Here are a few pictures that I took of the cactus Garden in Lotusland.  This garden was a gift to Lotusland from Merritt Dunlap, a longtime friend of Madame Ganna Walska.  It was transported to Lotusland beginning in 1999.

Lotusland - Cycad Garden

 

Here are a few pictures I took in the Cycad Garden on our recent visit to Lotusland.  Lotusland cares for many species of cycads that are threatened-including five species in the collection that are believed to be extinct in the wild.

Lotusland - Water Garden and Aloe Garden

 It's too early in the year to see lotus in the Lotusland Water Garden, but there is still plenty to see.

I think the Aloe Garden in Lotusland has a special "other world" feel to it!
