I went to Huntington Gardens again with Annie yesterday. :) Here's some photos! WHEE!

Covered in citrus fruit!




One of the mixed iris beds near the Shakespeare Garden. This gives me hope about my own beds... see how they just kinda have bulbs mixed in spots with these other plants...? It's charming! Some of these are the same flowers I have.


Lavender and Irises = WIN!


Foxglove, columbine, irises, etc.




Annie took this pretty photo of some of the columbine!


A gorgeous tree, with sadly no identification tag. (That's Annie scoping out the tree.)




Moving into the rose sections of the garden. Annie was totally patient with me geeking out over rose varieties. :)


William Shakespeare 2000 was arranged around a bench with yellow columbine. I have two of this rose in my backyard.

Leontine Gervais


Ancient Rose, Autumn Damask. ... the rose blooms themselves are lovely, but the habit of the bush is rather gangly, eh? The thorns are epic, too.


Ludlow Castle


Lynn Anderson


Mme. Alfred Carriere




I really liked this rose... also wondering if it's a smaller variety.
Paul Bocuse






Sharifa Asma


Ebb Tide


I have this same plant as a climber in the back corner of my backyard.
Eden




Enfant De France


Portland from Glendora




Wildeve (this is one I have the same of in my front yard.)

Am really tempted to try this rose as a climber...

I really liked this one.
