Puffballosaurus

Speaking of puffballs, here is the Rose Garden at Woodland Park Zoo, site of many a marriage ceremony and home to several gigantic paleolithic puffballs, or puffballosaurus.




And elsewhere in Seattle, a blog is devoted to the topiary of Beacon Hill (what we call puffballs hear on the eastside)
and they call "bonsai" here at BeHi Bonsai
and featured here in the Seattle Times earlier this year


In the Kingdom of the Puffballs

On our holiday trip to southern California last month we found ourselves in the Desert Garden at the Huntington near Pasadena. These highly drought-tolerant cousins to our native evergreen puffballs kindly allowed us to photograph their rarely-seen worshipping rites.
