La Quinta Poppies
Iceland Poppies and pansies are commonly planted together in the Southern California desert. They are planted as densely as possible for a more lavish effect. I took this photograph in a private club called The Traditions. It’s one of the most oppulent venues in California. Each of the homeowners’ gardeners seem to be in a competition with each other for the most stunning results. You have to see it to understand the level of extravagance. Trust me they are not on a budget.
