Here's our weekly dose of gorgeousness from Pauline's garden in Carmichael, California, thanks to Pauline's husband, Irvin Faria. Irvin says, "An Oribe-style Japanese lantern, designed specifically for gardens by Lord Furuta Oribe (1544-1615), welcomes you to Pauline's Garden. The entry to this woodland garden features miscanthus grass, crabapple, Japanese maples, and azaleas." Yet again, thanks for these photos, Irvin. I think, at this point, we all want to come for a visit!
