Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Superior AZ
Visiting the Arboretum with my friend, Karen
I'm visiting a Portland friend who just bought into a winter property in Apache Junction, AZ. She's quite the gardener so we planned a trip to the Arboretum. WOW!! What an amazing place. Cactus and other plants from the Sonoran, Chihuahuan desert, plus sections dedicated to Australian and South American plants.
 |
| Huge Eucalyptus!! |
 |
| Me and Karen |
 |
| Aren't these lovely!! |
 |
| Lots of agave and barrel cactus were in bloom |
 |
| This saguaro had to be several stories tall!! |
 |
| A South American variety of Palo Verde |
 |
| Very narrow path along a creek |
 |
| Karen - enjoying all the variety! |
 |
| Cloudy - but only sprinkled a couple of times |
 |
| So Lush! |
After walking around the Arboretum, we decided to drive thru nearby Superior, AZ in search of a cute diner - we found a sports bar (not really) full of nostalgic history from the area - old hotel signs, newspaper articles on mining and other local history.
As a bonus, the food was amazingly good!!
