In the entry gardens, many old standbys greet the visitor as they walk under shaded, looming tall pine giants, California oaks and eucalyptus. South African orange clivia grace the underbrush.

Camelias of every color range, size, variety and shape are still in bloom. Camelia plants become bushes which become trees. A grand fountain anchors the end of an allee or straight path lined with greenery.

Succulents border a petite stone bridge over a stream.

Purple teeny flowers dot the landscape with feathery foliage.

A grand floribunda camelia tree is home to a “grand” spiderweb. Look between the two blossoms and above the right one.
