Madeira Geranium available

“Queens Tears” is a bromeliad with long slender green leaves and pink bracts with blue/purple and yellow petals.   C. Fitzgerald garden.

Amanita muscaria. I think this is the prototype for the Disney-esque toadstool seen in cartoons and movies.  Ibotenic acid and muscimol are the moderately toxic neurotoxins from this fungi.

Located across the road from the rose garden (see other post) it is said to be the finest Japanese garden outside of Japan and it is well worth the entry fee. The attention to detail is extraordinary.  Bring a book or a friend or both and stay a while.
