Description

Captured back on 8/8/09, in the beautiful Desert Garden of the beautiful Huntington Botanical Center and Conservatory in beautiful San Marino, California. Just one of many fotos I took of this particular species of big round cacti during my five visits to the Botanical Center in 2009. I haven't identified the other varieties in this image. ZOOM for better definition. Cheerybye, and have a nice day. Only two more days to go before you know what.

Ooh, what a great capture of this fantastic garden! Those are the healthiest cacti I've ever seen, I think. I hope you were careful around them, they could really hurt! Well done, Harry!

Nice collection of cacti. I would not want to be the person responsible for weeding around these, ouch!

This is amazing! I've heard the "Mother-in-Law's-Chairs" reference, too. I really must catch up on the stuff in your gallery, but I'll have to also say that this is brilliant. I love the clarity and the intensity of the light. Fantastic. Cacti are such wonderful plants and these are doozies. Great work.
