Went to the Arboretum the other day to visit their all new exhibit!

For years the Boyce Thompson Arboretum has been working to move the Wallace Exhibit to their facility. It's a collection of a LOT of cactus and other desert-type plants. It was supposed to open in March, but has been delayed until this week. It's definitely worth the walk through the exhibit! don't I don't know how long the trail is, and there are side trails also. But if you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend it.
Attached are a few images from that trail. Enjoy. And I'll welcome your comments.

One of the nicest joshua trees I've seen.

The saguaro in front is naturally there. The crested saguaro behind was moved. They have to be supported for awhile because they don't have much of a root system.

This boulder looks like some kind of animal. Couldn't say what, but something!

I wondered about a frog. It's certainly something sitting on its haunches. Thanks for sharing your imagination!

Very nice love that place.
Also collected hundreds of Apache tears nearby. Still have a big bag of them, most are very large.

I enjoyed seeing these photos. Looks like a good place to check out, if I get up that way
In Tucson we have two botanical gardens that we enjoy visiting
Nice photos.

Apache tears are beautiful. They're not as plentiful as they once we're. Glad you enjoyed the walk.

Well, of course! I honestly don't know what they look like.
