Ongoing through February
Descanso Gardens’ famous camellia blooms. Most SoCal botanic gardens have a selection of camellias, and now through the end of February is prime bloom time, but Descanso Gardens’ camellia collection is billed as North America’s largest, so plan a trip to ogle these magnificent flowers (especially if you have a thing for reds and pink perfect for a Valentine’s Day outing!). Non-members must purchase tickets in advance online for $15 ($11 for seniors and students, $5 children 5-12, children under 4 and members enter free). The gardens are open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 1418 Descanso Drive in La Cañada Flintridge. Face coverings required.
