Ventura CA botanical gardens

Post by keith »

Full bloom at Ventura botanical gardens this is mostly way up at the top all the South African types. Proteas, aloes and ice plants and a bunch of other plants not sure what they are ? And the pacific ocean in the background with the channel islands possibly in view these pics had to be compressed quite a bit to upload. These gardens wind up a south west facing canyon .

Some Euphorphias I think this is Medusa head . I wasn't even planning to go there caught it just right for the ice plants.
