Yellow yarrow, manicured to remain short, mingles with carpet bugle and short daisies to form the higher tiers of the sprawling lawn, while closer to the ground dog fennel, ground ivy, and creeping violets add color and texture to the mix. Despite the plethora of plant life, nothing is sturdy enough for cultivating but the air carries a rich aroma.

Carefully hidden amid the verdant leaves, frosted globes shine brightly and dispel the encroaching darkness of the night. Crushed sea shells line the pathway of the garden, the rainbow-hues of their nacre dazzling in the moonlight.

Constructed of white birch, an ornate pergola occupies the center and is encircled by a ring of gently burbling water, its source unknown. Wisteria vines fashioned of enameled copper trail across the structure and twine with faenor-leafed rose vines, beneath which an alluring copper statue stands.

Waves of hot, arid air radiate outward from the russet terracotta tiles that form the ambling pathways, while dimly glowing lights lend the area a feeling of perpetual twilight. Two large, blackened stone boulders flank the entry like silent sentinels.

Fulgurite spires, tall and brittle, cast long shadows across the terracotta pathway, while squat barrel cacti form a pale screen of brown and crimson foliage against the travertine walls. Zorchar disks, strung from thick rafters beneath the enormous domed ceiling, randomly flare with electrical sparks.

Dozens of blue-flame agave plants grow just beyond the tree's shadow and under the bright glow of a decorative copper sun that is suspended high in the air. Protected by a triangular glass enclosure, several thorny lizards bask in the heat from their perch upon various smooth stones.

Small calcified shrubs burst from the black sands that surround a salty pond of bright pink, while the skeletal remains of a sea eagle is perched upon a dead log. Soot, sulfur, and brimstone fill the air with their biting, acrid odor.

Dried-out, dead branches rest at angles against the travertine walls, their crossed limbs home to an enormous grey chuckwalla. Dark, burnished brown sands litter the ground where flat stones provide sunning spots for an armadillo girdled lizard that is housed in the western section of the garden. You also see a flat grey stone bench.

Massive rhimar and glass pillars, five in total, stand at even intervals and exude an extremely cold air that causes nearby plants to be kissed in frost. An enormous ice sculpture wreathed in pale frostflowers and azure iceblossoms rises at the heart of the garden, its outstretched fingers nearly touching the rhimar-framed roof.

Verdant mistweed forms a bright groundcover, while pot-bellied pitcher plants and spotted cobra lilies encircle a series of glowing mineral pools that cascade down the garden's high slopes.

Towering drakefern, larger than can usually be found in the wilderness, create a decorative screen of burnished green that almost completely obscures the travertine walls of the garden. Crimson lava stones form barriers around a variety of bromelaids, their waxy leaves varied in color and shape, while an enormous red obsidian sculpture rises in the background.

An arched awning of haon and glass provides the rounded entry with protection from the elements, while small white statues cupping orbs in their hands line the pathway.

Cobalt blue tiles surrounded by a thick, golden moss fill the pathway, while tiny statues fashioned of marble hold dimly glowing orbs aloft in their intricately carved hands.

Rising from the standing water, a towering and ancient haon tree stretches its limbs towards the sky, its translucent leaves allowing the sunlight to filter through the garden.

In the higher reaches, long stalks of blue irises bend their curving limbs towards the cool waters as if paying homage to its passage. Nearer at hand, the short-stemmed glory-of-the-snow blossoms dance around the edges of a mossy bank that sprouts indigo woodland crocuses.

Smooth limestone boulders are arranged in evenly spaced, semicircular rows that face a copper and haon lectern in the southwestern section of the expanse. High above and stretching from one end of the lawn to the other, a canopy of loosely woven netting dangle a plethora of frosted globes that reflect the sunlight as they twist and turn with the ambient, yet fragrant, breeze that filters through the gardens.

At the heart of the space, a half-wall of metallic parrots lifts from the glass-like surface of a small pool of water recessed into the ground. Rising from the aquatic depths, a beautiful copper statue greets a copper and carnelian sun that is brightly illuminated by some unseen source.
