Yves St Laurent has a villa within the grounds of the garden. When I was last here in 1999 you could see another extensive cactus garden surrounding the villa, unfortumately there's no public access so all I could do was peer through the chain-link fence. Now there's a bamboo screen and a jungle of climbers masking the fence so you'd never know it was there

Hi Steve

Certainly some lovely mature plants & they all look so clean, no bugs or rubbish.
That Beaucarnea is a monster ::o , must feed my plant a bit more!

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

Stephen
remember space hoppers? well they'd be about that size, except you wouldn't want to do much hopping on those monsters

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!
