Day Trip

Yesterday we went with our friends, Jan and Gary, to U.C. Berkeley Botanical Garden.
One of the first sections we visited was the cactus garden and I saw this huge menacing Devil Cactus.  It creeps low along the ground and looks like it could inflict some serious damage if you fell onto it.

An interesting hairy cactus.

I love roses.

A cottage garden.

We never did get the name of this interesting tree.

I love purple coneflowers.

Some purple peas in the edible garden.

Two visitors.

Such a fun and relaxing day.  After the garden we went to Bette's Oceanview Diner for a late lunch.  We bought a couple of plants for the backyard and we plan on making another trip to the Botanical Garden in the spring.
