Descanso Gardens has interesting architectural details in odd little places. This gate was at the back of the original owners' house. A gate is a gate, but this gate is a piece of art.

Mantilla poppies grow very tall. We saw a mantilla poppy in Camarillo and didn't know what it was, other than it was almost certainly from the poppy family.
