The Getty Museum in Los Angeles has wonderful gardens. The first picture below shows the splendid and creative structures for growing bougainvillea.
The plant that caught my attention is the one below - Society Garlic. Its latin name is Tulbaghia violaceae and I recently found it at Humber Nurseries in the herb section. It's now in the conservatory greenhouse, looking quite good. It isn't in the Allium family - even though it looks and smells like onions and garlic. It is in the Amaryllis family. It was quite entertaining to be in the sunken garden at the Getty Museum. The smell of garlic was everywhere in the air, as the hillside is lined with the plants as a ground cover.
