Serenity now, serenity now.
            
Here are just a few but the bandwidth on this WiFi is mediocre at best. I'll post more when I get home. Enjoy.

the gardens look wonderful. I especially love how in the middle of the pond(?) there is a dinosaur. The waterfall looks super sic wit it , as does the ferns(?) growing from rock.
I love the tropical/Japanese vibe the place gives me.
Thanks ferrel for sharing these images and taking us with you. Job well done.

Nice pics. 
I've been there a couple times myself and always enjoyed the bamboo forests. Can't believe it's free!
Did you find their datura?

Didn't get to see it Or maybe I did and didn't recognize it. It's a 6 dollar entrance but I didn't have cash and said said donate something so I bout this mug. Suits me well.

It was the most amazing time I have ever had. My very first time going to a botanical garden. I felt like kbg on one of his many hikes. And the whole time I thought about everyone here. I made it a point to go picture crazy cause I wanted everyone to kinda get a feel about what it was like. I almost cried being there.

Thanks brother. It was definitely a magical experience.
I was surprised the cactus and succulent section was so small. It was cool as fuck but small. That astrophytum ornatum was huge. Size comparison with uncle moneybags.

No problem man,and yeah,you figure Texas,and Cacti go hand in hand,but at least what they do have is out of sight!
I never have seen an Astrophytum ornatum thta big,ever!
I never even knew they got remotely that size!

I think it's the columnaris cultivar. Maybe. what ever it is I just wanted to go and ask someone in the front if I could have it. It was beautiful. I marveled and stared and touched it. I was mesmerized by it.

It had a bunch of spent flowers. I tugged on them all to see if by some miracle there was a pod but nah. I bet you when it flowered it was awesome.
