As many of you know if you've followed me for any length of time, but we have a lot of plants at our house, most of which include cacti and succulents. When searching for resorts for this past trip, it didn't take long to decide on Coronado Springs. Then when we arrived we were even more fortunate to get the Ranchos section of the resort. Even though this was the farthest area from the food court at the resort, it was still styled perfectly for us. The amount of aloe and agave plants that littered this area was amazing. Some of those big blue agave were taller than guest room doors! That takes like 20 years for them to get that big!! Also, I saw many cacti in the euphorbia species. That all well and good because they were planted accordingly, but almost all cacti in this group are toxic. We had a pencil cactus, one species I saw here, once that would leak white glue like sap. If it came into contact with your skin it would burn forever and was a pain to get rid of. It made me wonder why Disney chose such dangerous plants for a resort. It's because it fits the theme perfectly and they knew Jeff would love them!! The amount and size of the landscaping at Coronado Springs is something not to be missed if you are any sort of plant lover. :) Please let me know what you all think, as even though this is just a photo of some plants, I did still try a decent composition. Any comments or suggestions are both welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
