Gingkos Come Alive

Gingko biloba, LA County Arboretum and Botanic Garden, Arcadia (12/8/18) Frank McDonough

It’s almost as if Gingko trees know the lyrics to “Come Alive.” As, they’ve become The Greatest Showman, at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Gardens in Arcadia.

Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it’s open wide
You’re electrified

– Come Alive, Joseph Trapanese and John Debney

Frank McDonough sends this holiday postcard of late autumn color from “The Arboretum,” remarking that “The color is still at it.” Indeed it is.
