Located across the road from the rose garden (see other post) it is said to be the finest Japanese garden outside of Japan and it is well worth the entry fee. The attention to detail is extraordinary. Bring a book or a friend or both and stay a while.

Exotic and fragrant! If you want a consistent spring bloomer and a bulb that will reward you every spring then you need to plant Peruvian Daffodils Bulbs (Hymenocallis festalis). They love our zone 10A and they are extremely reliable blooming each and every spring. Also, they produce offspring bulbs on a regular basis every year.
