Heaven is here
by Jahanshah Javid01-Nov-2008
Huntington Library's Botanical Gardens in Pasadena, Southern California, is breathtaking. I tend to throw that word around a lot. But I don't know what other word I can use to best describe the collection of plants, trees, flowers... at this magical place. The Rose Garden is everyone's obvious favorite. You don't know how many times I said "magnificent", "wow", "so bloody beautiful", "amazing". I couldn't shut up! The Chinese and Japanese gardens were OK but the Bonsai trees were incredible works of art. But the most spectacular part is the Desert Gardens. So many varieties, in so many colors, in so many weird shapes, as if they are from another planet. I went nuts! I'm eternally grateful of my friend Mojgan for bringing me here. If you live in the area, you must see it sometime. If not, enjoy the pictures.

When the first leaves turn to yellow or red, I mourn inside for the parting summer, and dread in fear of the approaching winter.

by IRANdokht on Sat Nov 01, 2008 02:14 AM PDTI bet the rose garden looks even nicer and more fragrant when it's the right season for all these roses to bloom! The desert garden was just amazing, very nice pictures JJ! It almost felt as if I were there too! :0)
Have fun and keep updating everyone with pictures of the great places you visit.
Thanks
