Walking the Desert Garden on a Quiet December Morning (in 4k)

The Huntington Desert Garden is one of the largest and oldest assemblages of cacti and other succulents in the world. In 1907-1908, William Hertrich brought in plants from local nurseries, private residences, public parks, and collection trips to the Southwest and Mexican deserts to begin building the garden. Today, those two dozen families of succulents and other arid-adapted plants have developed into a 10-acre garden display and one of The Huntington's most important conservation collections.

Its fascinating how much of our deserts are dominated by monocots and dicots that seem to be mimicking monocots. It makes sense that narrower leaves lose less water to evapotranspiration but it still leaves deserts always looking so unique and fascinating.
