i always check out botanical gardens. most major cities in the world have good ones. one example is the one in Amsterdam, as i remember, over 500
years old. doctors back in the day accessed botanical plants brought back from the far away places dutch traders were visiting.BajaBlanca - 1-15-2021 at 12:41 PM
The one in San Miguel de Allende was really, really fun. They had some little, rare ones for sale that came home with me. I had them in my carryon
and the attendant said they were potentially dangerous so we put them in the suitcase.
There is a gentleman in Matlock, Derbyshire in England who started a cactus greenhouse called ABBEY BROOK CACTUS NURSERY that has one of the most
exquisite and vast collections I have ever seen.
I have not been to Amsterdam but will sure go one day.
Ready for a laugh? As I was looking up the cactus nursery, I saw one named PRICK in London hahahahahapacificobob - 1-15-2021 at 05:23 PM
the one in Singapore has thousands of bougainvillea varieties....and more palm species than one imagine exists. the paris botanical garden has a palm
house that would be incredible even without the palms.motoged - 1-15-2021 at 05:27 PM
Some of you may have seen parts of my favourite botanical garden.
It is all over Baja ... pacificobob - 1-15-2021 at 05:44 PM
quite right. just today i took a ride up in the hills. i was noticing every ridge and drainage offer a slightly different assortment of plants than
the previous one.
remarkable variety for such a dry climate.David K - 1-15-2021 at 06:19 PM

Aah, it looks like it's a restaurant as well. I like to camp out by the volcanoes and frequently stop a block or so from here to air down/up. I'll
have to check this out on my next trip. BajaBlanca - 1-21-2021 at 07:32 PM
