Intro.  In May, while attending a work-related conference in the Santa Barbara, CA area, Patty and I toured a botanic garden known as Ganna Walska Lotusland.  Situated on 37 acres, Lotusland was originally a private estate on which the socialite and opera singer Ganna Walska collected botanical specimens from all around the world.  The estate is now open for private tours (see their website for details), includes 18 distinct gardens, and features more than 3000 kinds of plants including palms, bromeliads, succulents, cacti, aloes, ferns, cyads, and more.
