Huntington Succulents

There is a place I always love going to when I visit Los Angeles — the Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino, just south of Pasadena. It is a masterpiece of planning and display of many different botanical environments. There are 12 different garden areas including a California garden, a Japanese garden, a Rose garden, a Subtropical garden, and even a Desert garden. The latter is an amazing display of cacti, palms, succulents, and other desert plants. These jade-green “hens and chickens” are among the many different varieties growing at the Huntington.
