Botanically Inclined

Welcome! – If you stumbled upon this page it means you are interested in plants and/or places where you can find and see them. This is not intended to be a gardening blog, just an attempt to show and talk about plants in a different way, the way I see and feel about them. It is a journey through the plant world from the small specialty nursery I work at: Lost Horizons Nursery, from my garden and also from our hiking trips and botanical travels.

Wild by nature but civilized through education, after more than two decades of tending to the plant world, still madly in love with Gentiana, particularly fond on the Hepatica, recently mildly obsessed with the Epimedium, and fatally attracted towards the Arisaema…to mention just a few.
