Pele - Goddess of FireI'm not always partial to artworks in gardens. This sculpture was interesting though for the material it was made from, an orange-copper-coloured metal. It shimmers and shines as you move around it, which, of course, you can't see in a still photo.
But the mariachi band topiaries (of sorts) were really cute and well done. I almost got caught up in the movement and music even though it was imaginary.Perhaps the most interesting part of our visit wasn't a plant or artwork - it was a person, an older woman who volunteers at the gardens. She lives in Solana Beach but was originally from Victoria, and had an interesting family and background. She gave us the address of her childhood house here so we could take photos and send them to her. We enjoyed talking to her so much I thought we might not get around to seeing the gardens.
