Besides favorites detailed previously on roses and orchids at Huntington Gardens, we also enjoyed seeing the Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, and Desert Garden. The plants and landscapes are stunning at this California treasure. Some of the largest specimens were first planted in the 1920’s, and the golden barrel cacti collection is one of the largest in the world. If you get lucky, you might see a flock of wild red crowned parrots and hummingbirds too (read about urban parrots in the Los Angeles area at: https://www.kcet.org/shows/earth-focus/creating-an-urban-ark-for-endangered-species-in-los-angeles). Our anticipated one day visit was not nearly enough, so we returned again a second day. There are also multiple museums in the garden and so much more to see that is not detailed here. If you would like to visit, more info is at: http://www.huntington.org/
