Just some weird & wonderful plants doing cool stuff:

A native of Australia, fiery red blooms emerge from this Eucalyptus macrocarpa after its tiny pointed cap (known as a calyx) pops off. See it blooming in the Australia Garden.

You can’t miss the brilliant turquoise flowers and hot pink stalks produced by the Puya—see three different varieties ( Puya alpestris, Puya venusta, and Puya coerulea var. violacea) blooming now in the Desert Garden.

Did you know that cool spring weather can affect the shape of rose petals? In varieties like ‘Mellow Yellow’ and ‘Easy Does It II,’ found in our Rose Garden, the flowers produce frilly petals only during the first bloom cycle of early spring.

Chorisia insignis, also known as the silk floss tree, palo borracho, samu'ũ, paineira, or toborochi, is native to Argentina and part of the baobab family. After flowering in the winter, it disperses seeds within balls of fluffy, fibrous matter, similar to wool or cotton. See it fluffing near the Huntington Art Gallery.

The Blue Boy is a famous painting at The Huntington from Thomas Gainsborough. The Huntington is undertaking a lengthy conservation of the piece and is showcasing as much of it to the public as is feasible. It’s been interesting to follow along.

Wanted to see this last week #inspiringwaltdisney but the stomach bug knocked me out for it. Definitely go (or go again) if you are any type of #Disney or #animation buff. The sketches are Beautiful 😍 #attheh @jeffreyjjones @everbejoyful @brandyshoppe Afterwards was a lovely walk thru the Rose, Japanese and Chinese Gardens (at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGIXMBpUKL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tom Ford takes the stage. Now we really have to see the film; I’m intrigued by how his vision complements the novel. #christopherisherwood #asingleman #tomford #AtTheH (at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bof0wEHg3A7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tmht2uaiprx3

Silver cacti. Interesting shapes and patterns, but I still don’t want to pat them. #aovphoto #attheh #huntingtongardens #cactus #macrophotography (at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca8eHVgJ8Vm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wow, I did a lot on this day last year! Last year the Huntington had a surprise corpse flower bud. I was so excited and was keeping tabs on it every day, hoping I could see it bloom.

Today was schedule pick up day for the 7th graders at my school! They get to come and drive through to get their schedule and books for the year. It’s so weird having the start of school so different. It will be interesting to see how different this school year is. . . PS this photo was taken in the Japanese Garden at the Huntington Library. The Huntington Library is one of my favorite places to escape to in Southern California. Not only do they have a ton of amazing gardens, they have a couple museums on the property as well. In one of the buildings, they have the Gutenberg Bible (one of the first printed books)! In college I even got to go on a tour of the archives and see some ancient manuscripts they have in the archives. . . #visitcalifornia #atTheH #huntingtonlinrary #huntingtongardens #japanesegarden #botanicalgarden #travelingteacher #teacherlife #teachergram #teachersrock #teacherblogger #teachertribe #teachertips #teachertalk #teacherbloggers #teacherlove #nomadicnetwork #travelwithfathom #Socalblogger #southerncaliforniatravel #socalliving #socaltravel #socalphotographer #labloggerbabes #traveltribe #gltlove #globelletravel #girlmeetsglobe #darlingescapes #sheisnotlost (at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDuf5aVgrIJ/?igshid=zoub7k4yz2fz
