Descanso Gardens

We met up with hubby’s sister and BIL for lunch 

(Black Cow Cafe in Montrose - so good!!)

then headed to Descanso Gardens for a walk-about.

Temps were almost perfect - 

it got a little too warm as we were leaving - 

and the flowers were gorgeous as always. 

We’d hoped to see tulips and other spring flowers, 

but they must have bloomed earlier,

so we had to make do with lilacs, camellias and irises (irisi?). 

Lilacs and iris are some of my favorites so no complaints from me.

I picked up a tiny succulent (and a kitty-shaped pot) 

that Marie says is a Tiger Kalanchoe (cal-en-co-ee). So unusual!
