Gorgeous yard! Love their aloe! I have this one in a big pot and it has hardly grown. I expected it to get huge fast.

It looked better then most I've seen in photo's Kell. Very nice grey leaves and tightly grown,My first glance was that it was Aloe pilansii.
The Cordyline in front? I'm still not sure. It was not like my very similar Cordyline 'electric pink' after all. Their's has a single trunk...not a clump like mine.
The whole garden was only a block or two from Inga Hofmann's home. It may have come from her as that whole area has collectors plants. Plants like "Super Silver Brahea and Fishtail palms or San Jose Vesper Brahia's.
I sure wish I had met her.

I have not been out for awhile but when I can, I think I will go over there and ride around looking for it! LOL I see a lot of old huge cactus in old SL.

Ah!! I should have gotten a pic of the Waterfountain companys 100 year old Cereus as long as I was down there. The last time I took a pic of it Kell, was 2 dead PC's ago. I also only had a Kodak 3pixel camera!
