SouthCoast Botanical Garden






Have driven by this place so many times and always wanted to go in an visit, yeah finally did.
The Cherry Blossoms are is bloom, beautiful not too many trees but they were all in bloom.
They have a great cacti garden, love the black cactus and it's got a yellow bloom.
This is a small garden lots of conifers they do have a rose garden, but since it's not rose season we'll have to go back and look at all the tea rose.
They have a small Japanese garden, no bonsai too bad. If you want to see bonsai you can go to Descanso Garden or Huntington Library.
They did have some cacti for sale, very nice and good price. Didn't buy one but I did get a clipping of a geranium, hope it makes it. Oh yeah the poppies were blooming
Here are some pictures, enjoy........

Where is the world is Martha.......





Oh it's been a long time since I've done this.
But I'm ready to start. Even is it's just for me.
Hawaii, was nice going but not all the time.....OMG long flight and shitty seats.
Sis make ti Foster Botanical Garden, what a nice place. It was small but packed with beautiful flowers and trees. Nice place to relax sit and visit a while. Very isolated so if you're not sure about being by yourself and not see people about, this is not the place for you.
Took so many pictures, that I can't possibly post them all, but here are a few. The rest are on Facebook, damn Facebook. Very cheap admission price and you have the place all to yourself.
