Finally the heart of the place, the Getty's central garden. Many pictures, few words. I spent the day mulching and doing spring flush clean up in my garden, and I'm tired!
Layia platyglossa, a California native wildflower:
Sweet Peas have the best fragrance!
I Spy...'Iceberg'!
Achillea millefolium (Yarrow):
Linum, I think:
There's the Zig Zag path, under that block of trees--London Plane, I think, all trimmed into a boxlike shape.
Well, that's it for my Getty visit. Mulching today meant either negotiating an iffy path on a steep slope, or climbing a ladder up to the steep slope and negotiating the iffy path from there. It was pretty warm today too. I ended up carrying mulch up the ladder, but instead of coming back down with empty buckets, I filled them with clippings by doing further weeding and clean up. Oh so painful, but the slope looks good again. In the midst of my clean up I noticed some gopher-generated dirt piles in the neighbor's yard just on the other side of the fence, and because I had a gopher trap handy, I set it and stuck it into the main tunnel. The faster you get those buggers, before they've created a major tunnel network, the easier it is to get them. Grrr...they love to eat roses, so I love to set traps for them.
Busy day.
