I should have taken a picture of the society garlic, I didn’t. There is a wall of this garlic around the central garden
, I’m thinking it’s to keep the deer away from all the lovely flowers inside. The deer roam very freely here.
Looking at this image, I did get the garlic, Its’ under the trees, there is a lot of it, the smell is overpowering.
Alongside the succulents and the flowers, are wonderful colorful foliage plants. I’m pretty sure this is a coleus.
Cone flower, yes, I am enjoying the macro lens.
Another one.
The dahlias are blooming and they are a sight to see.
They come in different colors and even shapes, I won’t bore you with all the pictures I took.
A little overexposed, sorry, this is a two tone Agapanthus. Usually I see them in either white or shades of purple – this one had both. Another visitor excitedly pointed this out to me. A garden really brings people together.
The lens is really good, look at the eye on that bee!
I got that plant identifier app and learned that this is the Costa Rican butterfly vine, or bat vine. I then went and got more information online. Nope, I won’t be growing this – it is invasive and not kind to other plants. so I guess this is one I will just visit from time to time at the Getty.
