On
Wednesday I left off just as we were entering one of Williams heated greenhouses, now it's time to explore...
So many treasures! Cactus, other succulents, palms...
Bromeliads...
He has everything!
Oh my! Pyrrosia davidii (now frequently sold as P. linearifolia). I seriously swooned over this and another couple pots of the same, William kindly sold me this very plant for a song (I was giddy!).
Wouldn't it be nice if these Epiphyllum bloomed at Christmas time and could be purchased in lieu of Poinsettia?
Love the form of these flowers!
Into the second heated greenhouse now...
This one featured a smaller house within...
The extra special things (mostly orchids I believe)...
There were tree ferns inside as well.
Okay, we're outside again now and exploring a ferny part of the garden.
Which included a beefy fern table.
A few containers, and yes, more tree ferns...
Pinch me! I cannot believe I was there, seeing this all with my own eyes.
In front of the house, a pond and correspondingly lush plantings.
Yes, even another tree fern.
One last planting area to see before we leave, because you knew there were going to be more agaves, right?
It's taken me 6 months to finally write about William's garden for no other reason than I was waiting to go through and edit down my photos until I really needed the shot of late spring magic in a plant connoisseur's garden.
Thank you for welcoming us to your garden William!
Thank you for making it happen
Caleb.

Yes, yes YES!!! I'm going to go right back up top and look all through it again. I had to stop and laugh with glee at the house in a house. There are so many fantastic things, I'll stop myself from commenting on each and every photo. Kid in a candy store. I'm thrilled you could share this totally one of a kind place with us.
