From across the garden, I was pretty sure those red trunks were one of my favorite trees -- Arbutus menziesii |
The flowers certainly greatly resemble the ones on my relative, Arbutus unedo compacta |
The fruit as well |
The Heuchera and Cordyline make a perfect match to the red trunk |
Could this be a Hebe? |
Impressive tree ferns |
Tree ferns and Restios |
Magnolia |
Cistus |
Phygelius? |
There were a couple of beds full of roses that looked like they had been cut back once already and were just starting a second flush of bloom.
Audio-animatronic snail. Hehe, not really. |
We walked back and forth through this garden several times on our way to the parks, and it was such a peaceful, lovely oasis in the middle of the busy hotel. I was always so surprised to see so few people in it. Instead they were all madly rushing hither and yon. Can you imagine having your wedding at Disneyland in this garden? I think it would be fabulous fun!
