Bridge from the Chinese Garden, San Marino, CA

The Garden of Flowing Fragrance, Liu Fang Yuan 流芳園, is one of the largest Chinese-style gardens outside China and is found at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanic Gardens in San Marino, California. Also seen is one of the many model trains that run around the exhibit.

*****

We visited the “Season’s Greenings: America’s Gardens!” exhibit at the United States Botanic Garden, featuring plant-based recreations of conservatories, fountains and sculptures from around the country, with model trains running around and above the displays. It's become an annual event for us, and we always enjoy the holiday creations as well as the traditional DC landmarks display (most of which I didn't photograph again this year) as well as the 3,000-plus varieties of pointsettias gracing the various halls.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
