The Main House entry path.
The Main House of Lotus land has a nice entry path winding
through part of the garden. The gardens of Lotus Land comprise many styles
and a huge variety of succulents. I really enjoyed the tour of this world
famous garden.
The Main Formal Garden.
Lotusland has several gardens that would be called designed
in the old Formal style. This garden has a focal point consisting of the
Moorish style Fountain enclosed by the clipped hedges. Alongside the hedges
in the avenue formed, are designs made by rocks cemented into place into
intricate designs.
At the fountain one has a view to the four
directions, and can sight into each opening available, and is presented
with another view that has another focal point.

Lotusland is not regarded as a fine example of flower gardening, it is more involved in unique and exotic plants from around the world. Many of them are more regarded for their sometimes monsterous forms and grotesque shapes. I really liked it! Unfortunately I did not take enough photos to do the place justice, but it takes a reservations a year in advance to arrange a tour. |

Lotusland clock.
This clock is actually a working timepiece. It has huge
hands that spin and mark out the time pointing to various signs of the
zodiac that correspond on the clock to the Arabic numbering system we use
today.
Small succulents are planted inside the clock face, and
add a note of color to the time of day.
