My Mom and I would love to visit so I'll be calling her to plan a trip. :)<br /><br />The tree you mentioned that reminded you of a Poinsettia is one of my favorites at the SA Botanical Garden. It's Euphorbia punicea and is from Jamaica and is also known as the Christmas Spurge or Jamaican Poinsettia (I think).<br Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10405355609893730051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-70737807581357576362009-11-09T14:26:17.603-08:002009-11-09T14:26:17.603-08:00It's great to discover these landscapes so dif...It's great to discover these landscapes so different for my. <br />The sculptures of insects are really impressive and the Japanese Garden is very beautiful. <br />Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Spanish courtyard and I think is an excellent idea to show different styles of low water use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896588676613842167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-62315522350793591562009-11-09T11:15:44.630-08:002009-11-09T11:15:44.630-08:00What a lovely tour.

But the water saver area is new since I was last there and I think it looks really great.

They would not encourage anyone to go native. I know they talked about adding a facade of a house to make them look more realistic. <br />Bob- Yes I took note of your suggestion and agree with you that this is a great plant.
