The Huntington Library,

Art Collections and Botanical Gardens

 

The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens (or The Huntington) is a collections-based educational and research institution established by Henry E. Huntington (1850–1927) and located in Los Angeles County at San Marino, California, on the western coast of the United States, and about 35 miles northeast of the Pacific Ocean. In addition to the library, the institution houses an extensive art collection with a focus in 18th and 19th-century European art and 17th to mid-20th-century American art. The property also includes approximately 120 acres of specialized botanical landscaped gardens, most notably the "Japanese Garden", the "Desert Garden", and the "Chinese Garden" (Liu Fang Yuan). <Wikipedia> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntington_Library

와인은 포도와 베리로 만 만드는 줄로 알고 있었는데

This is another of our "living fossil" plants, its kind surviving on earth since the time of the dinosaurs. Cardboard palm belongs to the Cycad family (cycad is Greek for "palm" to which most cycads bear resemblance). Other cycads include the coontie palm and the sago palm (of course neither of these are palms but they really do look them!)

Beaucarnea Recurvata (Also known as Elephant's Tree 코끼리 발 나무)

1912년에 심은 작은 나무가 이렇게 자랗는데 꼭 코끼리의 발 처럼 생겨서

코끼리 발 나무(Elephant's Foot Tree)라고도 부른다.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

봄이 되었어도 북쪽으로 되돌아가지 않은 캐나다 오리들, 언제 어디서 만나도 반갑다.

이제 Jungle Garden 쪽으로 들어선다.
