Who can guess whose garden, where, and maybe even when?
It is David and Frieda's beautiful garden, of course!
Just "some of my flowers" Frieda wrote.
I can't be sure of the date, but I think it was maybe 1995?
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;
they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. --Luther Burbank
Isn't it nice to know the famous American botanist--who gave us the July Elberta peach, the Santa Rosa plum, and the Russet Burbank potato, the most widely cultivated potato in the United States--also gave us the Shasta Daisy? Yep!
His house, greenhouse, and garden in Santa Rosa, California are now a city park open daily to the public, free of charge. (Located at the intersection of Santa Rosa Avenue and Sonoma Avenue, next time you are passing through.) I know this from reading a little WIkipedia article of course!
