Last weekend (and this one) I had to work, but I wanted to take a break and wear my new Strawberry Headdress and I wanted to see Huntington's rose garden. I'm really into roses and gardening lately, so I wanted to see their varieties. Usually plants that do well there, would do well where I am, too. So last Sunday I went to Huntington (these photos are from then). I want to go again ASAP.

This is me in some of the mixed beds near the Shakespeare garden. There were a ton of irises in bloom. I want to go back and spend more time with them and see what companion plants they have.


Huntington's rose garden is arranged based by rose class. They have a whole section of Hybrid Teas, another of modern English roses and another of antique old roses. (so a section of noisette, old tea, bourbon, moss... etc.)


Sophy's Rose


Crown Princess Margareta


Tamora




cl mme. Caroline Testout


Souvenir de Malmaison


not sure which Bourbon this is? Possibly 'Pierre de St.-Cyr'


This is my favorite chair in the camellia garden (that giant bush-tree behind me is a camellia!)

What a perfect outfit for such a beautiful garden! You look like you belong in a section yourself. XD <3

Man, I'm not usually one for Loli accessories, but that headdress is SO. CUTE.

You look so perfect there amongst the roses. I just love that close up with your curly hair tumbling down the front - so pretty!

Can I say again how happy I am that I'll be so close to the Huntington when I move?

It's Huntington Beach, CA. It's famous for that giant stinking corpse flower that ppl flock to from all over the world in August. If you grow a corpse flower outside, you can smell it for hours.

You're right that they have a corpse flower there, but a corpse flower only blooms once every few years.... and Huntington Beach is an entirely different area. Huntington Gardens are in San Marino, CA... which is near Pasadena. <3
