Yesterday, Guy and I went to the Huntington Library and Gardens. They have acres of different landscapes, and galleries with art, collectibles, and furniture from the 1500's to the present.
It took us 4 hours to see the desert gardens, the conservatory (hot house), and the main art gallery.
One day isn't enough to appreciate everything this park has to offer. These first photos were taken in the hot house. The second set, obviously in the Desert garden. The Huntington is open 7 days a week.

| I think these were from the orchid family. |

| What a surprise to come upon the flower in the middle of this cactus |
 |
| Everything was in bloom. |
 |
| The sun behind these succulent leaves made them glow like a flame. |
 |
| Can you believe a cactus can grow as high as a palm tree? |
 |
| Some of these sights were positively prehistoric. |

If you look closely, you can see a bee. I didn't know that
bees loved cactus flowers. They were all over them. |
Seriously, I don't think I've ever been there. First off...the lily looks nasty...(as in sexual)! The desert garden looks pretty cool, even though I'm not crazy about the desert. The photos are great as always.
