Holiday Herbage

Aloes and Sticks on Fire, LA County Arboretum, Arcadia (12/23/17) Frank McDonough

Southern California color spotter Frank McDonough sends this postcard of colorful holiday herbage from the LA County Arboretum and Botanic Gardens in Arcadia where fall color (now winter color, I suppose) is lighting up the season.

Though succulents are not fall color, their forms make for fascinating photographs.
