Succulent, Indeed!

 Went on a walking tour of Downtown TO.

 One of the stops was Allan Gardens.  A horticultural garden in what would be graciously described as a "high priority" neighbourhood.

 Hence no one in their right mind goes there without police escort (although surprisingly enough many leave the area with a police escort) or large group of old people.

 We did the latter yesterday.

Tucked in the back, down a few long hallways, was a desert themed area.

An amazing variety of cacti and other succulents.  Scroll back up to see some.

This looks like some sea anemones out of the depths of the ocean.

 With Mom lurking in the distance.

 All shapes and sizes.  Some even looking quite rude.  According to some of our Tilley hatted crowd anyway....
 Couldn't believe how many different varieties there were.

And this was only a sampling of them all.


 Okay, too many to make comments about them all.

You're welcome....


 And we ended the day on a little patio in the Gaybourhood.

It was also advertized as being quite succulent.

Not that's there's anything........

... One question -- Do you have to hold the rope when your on your walkabouts so no purple hairs get lost along the way? Always did see you in your Tilley with your pants up to your asophogus enjoying your retirement. Good for you!
