Desert Plants in the Kyoto Botanical Gardens Conservatory

By the time I made my way around to the Desert House, my battery was getting low and I didn't photograph many of the plant labels. I took mostly wide views of plant groupings anyway because I was attracted to the structures and combinations rather than individual plants. This was an amazing display.

Getting plants in the mail is so much fun! My order from Brent and Becky's Bulbs arrived yesterday. Here is what I ordered:


Begonia Boliviensis 'Bertini'
Canna 'Stuttgart'
Canna 'Robert Kent'
Dahlia 'Bishop of Llandaff'
Buddleia 'Evil Ways'
Zantedeschia 'Mango' (Calla Lily)


Now to figure out where everything is going!

  2. My kind of gardener. Just buy what catches your eye and THEN find a place for them. :) Have fun. Happy Easter.

  3. I've wanted to order from them for such a long time, but I am the biggest procrastinator when it comes buying bulbs. I overthink them!

  4. Spring planting is so much fun. I'm waiting for the Birmingham Botanical Gardens plant sale next weekend to buy most of my plants.
