Great pics!  Love all of those cacti in flower.  And I simply adore that waterfall with the beaver at the top and the moss covered wood.  Ooooo ideas ideas!

Like the best show garden - looks nice & wild.  The cacti are very alien-looking, aren't they?!  Don't think I've ever seen a display of cacti in flower like that before.

Hi Greenwizard, yes I enjoyed the show but it didn't quite have the wow factor that I expected. It was showery so I didn't get as many pics as I had hoped. Got some new plants though which helped make it all worthwhile  :)
