Attack of the Plants

Looks like a scene from a B-movie. We shall call this movie "Attack of the Plants". We humans are doomed!

Our Pride and Joy

Our pride and joy from our garden to yours.

Nature Abuse

It is a sad, sad day when a sign is completely useless against such abuse!

"Something is wrong with that apple!"

"I'm telling you, Clyde. There's definitely something wrong with THAT apple!"

That's the expression that we got when we first saw this larger-than-life sculpture at the Huntington Gardens.

Furry plant

Anyone has any idea what kind of plant this is? We think it's a

desert plant or maybe a carnivorous plant (like the Venus flytrap).

Stairways to Heaven?

Theater Entrance

This is the roof of the entrance way to the AMC Theatres at Downtown Disney. Technically, Downtown Disney is located in Orange County, south of Los Angeles County.

Pink hangovers

The flowers runneth over.

Hanging flowers 2

Am out of town this week. Ming from NY Daily Photo will be updating the photos for me.

Under a red tree

We took a snapshot of what it would be like to lay back under this red tree. I think it's a Japanese Maple.

Alas, we only stayed under there for about a minute.

Movin' On Up

Yep, we're movin' on up and movin' into this 20,000-square-foot home in the Beverly Hills area...... in our dreams!!

Hanging flowers

Anyone has any ideas what kind of flowers these are?

Nature's piercing 2

Nature's Piercing

Candy Apples

There is no way anyone can resist NOT buying these from the store!

Cactus Corner

Another Only-In-LA scene , where different type of cacti are used to "beautify" a frontyard corner of a house.

Trees & Sky 2: The Slope

In the land of Hollywood, another sequel appears!

Trees & Sky

Reflections

You can see the graffiti on the glass interrupting the perfect reflection of a school auditorium

You have arrived!

We took this photo up in the hills of Bevely Hills after visiting one of our friends.

The Pineapple Family

The genus of this plant Bromeliaceae is the same genus as the sweet delicious pineapple! The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is the only bromeliad that is edible. Most other bromeliads are used as ornamental plants, like this Quesnelia arvensis in the photo.



Again, we did the research. Whew! Research is time-consuming!

Don't be such a Pansy!

We love pansies because they are always multi-colored.

Stone Carvings

This stone carving is shot at the front of the Huntington Library building.

Unfurling fern

We found an unfurling frond of a fern. Try saying that three times fast!

Rosy Path

This beautiful path lead to the Rose Garden at the Huntington Library Garden. There are different color and type of roses on both sides of the path.

View from Your Bedroom - Day View

Eric from ParisDailyPhoto gave us an idea: Take a day shot of the June Theme Day's Photo.

Hmmm.... well, here it is!

California Fan Palm

Close-up of the leaf of a California Fan Palm (scientific name: Washintonia filifera), a very popular shrub grown in backyards and frontyards of Los Angeles.

See, we did our homework this time; we can name the plant again this time!

Theme Photo: View From Your Bedroom

We completely forgot that it's Theme Photo Day. So we rushed out to the balcony, played around with the shutter-speed and came up with this. We didn't realized what we took until we started to put this together, but can you spot the 3 focal points of the photos?
