Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden
Just came back from a fabulous trip to Arizona visiting Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Sedona. I read many good reviews about the Desert Botanical Garden and was looking forward to it. It totally exceeded my expectation because it's not the normal botanical garden I'm used to in East Coast. It was eye opening and I learnt a lot of things about succulents.
The daytime temperature was in the nineties but I didn't think it was unbearable probably because it's desert heat, it's different from NY summers. I'll be posting pictures here on my blog and in my flickr in the next few weeks. So stay tune!
Look at all the cactus for sale!
Beautiful Chihuly glass display in the background.

Beautiful photos, Louise! I’d love to visit AZ sometime. Wish we could grow more cacti here.

Fern – Thank you for your nice comment. Yes I did go to La Grande Orange! Their breakfast and bakery goods are awesome. Just thinking about it makes me hungry.
