Description
Whilst continuing the search for the wildflowers spotted from the bottom of the Botanical Gardens, one comes across allllll sorts of interesting displays. This is a hillside done in xeriscape style. . . I think.
This portion features a stone walkway; next to it is an area featuring a dry stream bed. Next to that is a field with a stone-lined acequia (ditch) emptying into a swamp. Next to the swamp were several workmen speculating on 'the size of that one.' Fortunately, it turned out it was a bass they were interested in. Seen enough 'that one's which turn out to be snakes.
Used to think Culebra Road was named after Mr and Mrs Culebra until I found a museum display of what they really meant. yoicks! Moral of the story: learn a few key words in the languages of the area where you live.
Enjoy; thanks for viewing.

yep, i'd call that xeroscaping, looks good & easy to maintain ... culebra... also an island, a city, a creek, mountain, hotel... so what does it really mean? you think Mr. & Mrs. Culebra know? o.O!
What DOES culebra mean... I had never heard of xeroscaping either.... man being from the Ky hills shelters me doesn't it? I think it looks a bit prehistoric!

Looks indeed a dry landscape, with those aloe like plants. Very interesting part of this botanical garden!
