Agave americana 'Variegata' underplanted with Sedum spurium on the East Terrace
This is the 34th summer I have had the privilege of working at Denver Botanic Gardens. Usually midsummer means doldrums: strangely, this time of year is still wonderful here. This is just a smattering of what you would see if you visited this week...there is a link at the very bottom where you can see even MORE things in motion...The dozens of still pictures were taken on about an hour's stroll--then I had to go back to my office. Or there would have been more!
