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.

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!

The boulder reminds me of a Guinea Pig. Very nice photos.

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