Hi ladies,

I’d like to invite you with me for a walk in the park. The park name is Huntington Library which is sitting in the big Los Angeles. It is a really huge park so we just take a pick.
It is indeed has a library, one of the largest in USA. Here it is.
They have books from as early as 1410.
The Art Gallery originally was the Huntington’s residence which was built in 1911. Henry Huntington is one of the owners of Central Pacific Railroad and one of the most important art collectors of his generation. The Gallery now is displaying about 1200 objects, some of them from 15th-century.
Here is the picture of this building side with a patio.
The second picture is the view from the facade.

Gorgeous magnolia tree is on another side of the building.
However, it is a park after all. One of my favorite gardens here is Rose Garden.

Smell the roses.


We can stop by for a cup of tea in this Tea Room.

It is summer time – time for the herbs.

Look at these plants!


I almost finished. It is huge event in California now – almost blooming of Amorphophallus titanum, the famous "Corpse Flower”. It blooms only the third time since 1999 in California. Well, you can guess its smell from the name. Yep, it is really bad.
I think it is the biggest flower in the world – now its bulb is 5 ½ feet long!

and it is still growing
And it is unbelievable but it is its leaf.

Thank you all for coming with me and I hope you enjoy it.
