UNAM BOTANICAL GARDEN
Having visited Mexico recently, I realised that the University Department of Botany's gardens is just the place to spend a relaxing and informative tour. It is possible to book pre-arranged tours in groups, although I simply did it on my own.

a few, but non reaching these great sizes. In the UK, it is much too
cold to grow these outdoors, and there is also the abscence of sunlight.
I love the silky feel of these Agave salmiana. Mine are still on the

in a very few years. At least, I hope so.

This ucculent is absolute gem. May I introduce you to the Fouquieria purpusi. Rarely seen outside of the habitat areas of Mexico, except in specialist shops; I do adore this plant.
