Tour the Huntington Gardens in (a California) winter

Post by CoronaCactus »

I know there have been previous posts with photos from the Huntington. But I figure since it's cold and snowy for most you it's a good enough excuse to post more ;)

I took a lot of pics, so I've uploaded a photo gallery/slideshow
Desert Forum 2010

I'll post a few to get ya started...

Hi Darryl
Sorry I was a little vauge.
When I click on the link and start the slideshow I get the images but no titles. I wondered if the plants were labeled in some way to identify them.

Ah, I see. Well, with over 700 pics I got lazy and just numbered them :)
For the most part though the plants follow the pic of the HBG's labels. Some are single pics with plant and label in one shot.

If you need clarification on anything just give me the gallery number (1, 2 or 3) and the pic number. Be happy to help.

Hello Darryl

Just noticed your Huntngton Collection of photos. And they were fabulous. It is a nice preview for me, because at the end of this month I will be in LA and will pay them a visit.
