In addition to the captivating structures I wrote about earlier, The Huntington Library and Garden near Pasadena, CA is a very well kept botanic garden. Many of the plants are exotic ornamentals, with collections from Mexico, South America and South Africa, among many others. One of my favorite gardens is the Desert Garden, because of the bright cactus blooms, and the sensuous lines of the the agave. Here’s another shot of an agave from The Huntington:

Really digging this shot, Greg. Along with the tea room photos. You live in So Cal?
