Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden

Tucked away next to an overpowering UCLA, I wonder how many peeps have
missed this wonderful refuge hidden within the bustling City of Westwood.

More to see than a few hours will allow for, it's a great place to enjoy
the peace of a quiet brooke, or the gliding of a busy "Flutterby Airport"..

After several visits, I think I have captured the essence of this awesome
respite in the hustle & bustle of Westwood Village ~ What a pleasure it has been ~

Gorgeous! Some of the flowers look "other-wordly," which, given the state of this world is probably a very good thing!

You've done a good job with this gallery purpod. Very nice collection of pleasing photos. Thanks for putting them up. Those of us in the east don't see many of the flowers shown here.
