That certainly looks like little bluestem grass to me, and if you had bought everything you wanted, there'd be less impetus for a return visit. :)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-29976562924245133452016-01-24T20:54:07.823-08:002016-01-24T20:54:07.823-08:00I find I've vastly underestimated the attracti...I find I've vastly underestimated the attractions of Tucson. I went through there once as a child but I certainly missed a lot.

I would have had to buy a bigger car! What a lovely garden. I like it when they show clear examples of what you can get in a desert garden.

Great place and we had a good time. <br /><br />They had a breathtaking specimen of Psorthamnus spinosus, it wasn't far from the horse sculpture--I of course had to know the name of such a beautiful plant and tracked down several volunteers to ask, one finally found an employee who knew what it was. On a sunny October day it was reflecting light like a mirror.<br /><br />I agree, they had an excellent range of plants for sale, too.

Cool that they sell ocotillo fencing. Much better than folks going out and gathering it themselves. I like the lines of the staircase to nowhere. Sweet. How can that grass be little bluestem when it is red? (Foolish grin here.) Jane Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016381279699618539noreply@blogger.com
