A Few Film Photos Taken in the Alpine Garden at the Denver Botanic

2 Comments

The large inflorescence in the background of this photo belongs to Agave parryi, an agave that can be hardy to -18C (according to “High and Dry: Gardening with Cold-Hardy Dryland Plants” by Robert Nold), depending on the growing conditions. Recently, I have been learning about some of the hardier agaves and was pleased to see a few at the Denver Botanic Gardens that were not only over-wintered outdoors, but in bloom.


I have posted more shots of the exquisite Alpine Garden over here.

  1. Dang. I need a film camera. The texture and exposures you’ve captured here are gorgeous, Gayla. I’m confident Terrance Malick would agree. The Gardens have never looked more enchanting.

  2. What lovely photos you have taken. They make me want to go out and take some, but mine never have the effect you have here. Truly wonderful x
