Ladera had it's own Botanical Gardens with a trail through them. This is where they grew the landscape plants, many of the fruits, vegetables & herbs for the restaurant. Liz & I spent several afternoons meandering the garden & talking with Ray, the head gardener. |

Liz is next to a Giant Philodendron. Wouldn't that be neat on the patio? Below is an iris that produced flowers right out of the leaf, it didn't form a separate stem for flowers. |
