More From the Keck Gardens

You may have noticed that I went to a couple of botanical gardens last month. I took oodles of photos, and could only share one in my last post about the Keck gardens in Santa Barbara, California. The photo I'm sharing here shows an interesting plant surrounded by smaller succulent plants. I don't know what any of them are. When I have more time I'll probably try to explore online and find out. But that large one reminds me a bit of a pompom. What do you think? Does it remind you of anything?
I visit botanical gardens to learn more about plants. I love plants. And I like learning more about them. I have to always be learning something new to keep my brain alive. Do you like to learn? What do you like to learn more about?

@changjiangzhibin89 The leaves of the sisal are different, they look like having thorns.

Pompom, yes. And it reminds me of some of the fauna Hawaii had. Do you use a photo editor where you can do a collage of several images at once? I used to use picmonkey online for that and cropping. Right now I'm using a app that I like. Below I'll show you I've I did.
The one I wanted was a back yard garden. I needed to find it first. In the mean time this is another option

@MarshaMusselman Nice! Which ap did you use? Now they are messing up PicMonkey with a new version I can't figure out. If they permanently retire the old version I'll be looking for another less complicated one than PickMonkey's new version or Fotor. I've also used others I may go back to

@MarshaMusselman I don't have a smartphone, so have to do my editing at a desktop.

It's a nice place to walk through. One can see it all in an hour since it only takes up one city block. It took me longer because I wanted to photograph everything.
