Succulents And Paradise

Huntington Gardens and Museum Hosts and expansive botanical gardens and succulent collection. Avid horticulturist and friend Dan Lynch(of SRI Fame- early Internet Guru/Pioneer) was recently in LA for some UCLA Math and Science board functions -but made time for a jaunt to one of his favorite LA haunts, the Botanical Gardens and Huntington Museum.

Lynch donated his once "largest collection in North America" of succulents to the museum years ago when he went off to college to become study math. Pictured here




The museum has a lovely photography exhibit now through September.

This Side of Paradise: Body and Landscape in L.A. Photographs

"This Side of Paradise: Body and Landscape in L.A. Photographs examines the dynamic relationship between the city and the art of photography from the 1860s to the present. Divided into seven thematic sections - Garden, Move, Work, Play, Dwell, Clash, and Dream - the exhibition explores photographs of the city through the dual lenses of landscape and the human body, as well as the provocative visual interplay between the two."
