The Cactus Garden At The Getty

I showed you some of the cacti the other day, but here is more of the Cactus Garden, over on the far left side of the complex.

What struck me as so unusual, was the color of the ground cover in the first photo and the color of the rock, in the second photo.




The cactus was brightly colored to begin with and then the contrast of colors made for interest that was pleasing to the eye. Of course the entire complex is pleasing to the eye, but maybe it was the uniform planting of the cactus that added to it. The small cacti are golden barrel, with colorful large yellow spines. From what I read, they tend to cluster together and if you saw the close up the other day, that is exactly what they did at this garden.

Points to my son for bringing me all the way to the end of the complex. I would have never found it on my own.
