Yes Robert, gotta have somewhere safe for the dragonflies to land.

I had one land on a stetsonia once...

Aloe is a good place for dragonflies too.

Gotta love those carbon fiber wings!

Super sweet dude!
The plants are really growing nicely.

Wow Tony! Where will you put the Epi cactus? Weren't they in that spot?

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Daiv, the larger Epi's have been relocated under the grape vines and under the nectarine tree next to the greenhouse, seems to be workin out real well.
Growth is good, not to dark green and no more evergreen junk in the pots.

Still under construction...

I'll bet the helper and his construction trucks are coming in handy!

Tony, you couldn't destroi the playground for your kid with some poor cacti.

But if I have that space, I would do the same.

I think it will be a nice bed.

Must be strange to see that wall now!

Well it is now.
But I haven't taken any decent pics yet. You can see a little bit of the right back wall in these birds eye views I shot while I was taking down the Xmas lights however.
Much of the same stuff, just from a different perspective.

My current new plan is to extend my shade house in the top of this pic, all the way to the covered table...

In the lower left of this pic and get rid of the all the tooth pic construction.
Its already full and I havent even started on it yet!

Thats my little greenhouse wedged in between the coverd growing tables

I will never forget TimN's fathers comment upon seeing my set up for the first time. He said "you dont plan on moving anytime soon do you"

You may have to start referring to this as the "Chino Desert Botanical Garden and Wonderland".

Do you have helpful "This Way Out" signs, or do you guide your overwhelmed, disoriented and/or amazed guests out personally?

Thats what I am missing!
An emergency exit plan with maps that have big red X's labeled, "you are here" and arrows pointing to the way back to the exits and sanity.

Actually, you should put a big red X with "you are here" painted on it directly in your garden. It is always a good idea to confuse and confound!
