Back to the Huntington (my December 2019 visit) and a quick zip through the Jungle Garden. Or more accurately perhaps a bit of the Lily Ponds, Jungle Garden, Palm Garden and maybe even a bit of the Subtropical Garden. There aren't any hard separations between those spaces and when you're wandering with a camera and overcome with the beauty of it all, you just snap photos.
Those who have been to the Huntington Gardens probably recognize this scene, it's at the public restroom next to the Lily Ponds.![]()
I love that something so rustic is hanging in such a fancy and historic garden.

Kigelia africana, the sausage tree.

Here are the sausages, in it's native tropical Africa some wildlife eat the fruits, but unripe fruit is poisonous to humans.

I've never claimed to be tree-smart, so it should come as no surprise that I'm just guessing at the name of this beauty, perhaps an ombú tree? (Phytolacca dioica)
