Crepe myrtle (l), evergreen pear (r), LA County Arboretum and Garden (11/20/20) Frank McDonough
Los Angeles County typically limits the term “an overnight sensation” to its artists, not generally to its foliage. However, that’s how Frank McDonough is describing the overnight change at the LA County Arboretum and Botanic Gardens which transformed from Patchy to Near Peak. Sensational!
Frank was so overwhelmed by the transformation, that he sent over 70 images. OK, that’s a bit over the top, even for a Hollywood publicist.
