Last week we went to the Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park. It is a slice of heaven on earth. There were marvelous flowers everywhere - and we spent hours luxuriating in the succulent garden. The Puya chilena threw an abundance of these heavy man-sized flower spikes spiral-wrapped in these remarkable turquoise-tealy blossoms.
There was an Agave somebodyi (from Arizona) sending forth flower stalks. The plant is a compact rosette of serrated leaves, and each leaf retains an imprint of the sawtoothed edge of its inner and outer neighbors as the bid unfurls. Vegetative jigsaw puzzle.

But my reason for posting is that we found the Rhody Corner. They were not particularly dense plants - guess the weather is not quite right in San Fran - but they were flowering to beat the band. And the ones with the white flowers smelled good.
