Notable Cactus and Succulent Garden, Monte Carlo
« on: August 28, 2012, 10:25:40 AM »
The Jardin Exotique de Monaco, opened to the public some 80 years ago, is a splendid collection of cactuses and succulents, growing outside in the very steep rocky site set spectacularly above the Mediterranean sea. Some of the plants are of immense size.

Yes, it is a very nice place and the view to the sea is magnificent.

It looks like the sort of place where one could spend hours closely examining each unfamiliar plant ( and from the pics most do seem unfamiliar to me )
 
I think that is one of the many things I am learning from this forum, I need to spend time looking more closely at plants!
