The Arboretum’s mission is to cultivate our natural, horticultural and historic resources for learning, enjoyment and inspiration.

Our vision is to be one of the world’s truly great arboretums and botanic gardens-the garden which best reflects Southern California’s

distinct climate, community and openness to new ideas.

Fairwell and Best Wishes to All

in Southern California. The footprint of

The Arboretum is only 127 acres, but its
significance to the greater Los Angeles area and
around the world is much greater. For 60 years,
The Arboretum has provided outstanding learning
opportunities, acted as an oasis in the urbanization
that has occurred, and enriched lives with the
beauty and wonder of nature. For the last four
years, | have had the pleasure to help guide and
assist the fine staff and volunteers who make The
Arboretum work on a day-to-day basis. It has
been an honor to facilitate change that has lead to
improvements in the operations and collections in
many areas.

; he Arboretum is an important resource

Forrest 10, Logan 7, Patty, Mark

For a number of personal and professional reasons,
| accepted the position of the Executive Director

of the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest
outside of Louisville, Kentucky. By the time you read
this, | will be on my way to a new adventure in
nature.

There were several trends started during my tenure
as Chief Executive Officer of The Arboretum. The
thinning and cleaning of the plant collections, both
in display areas and behind the scenes. This yielded
better visibility of significant plants and improved
the overall appearance of the grounds. More clean-
up will continue.

New specialty displays and collections were
added including the Desert Display Garden, the
Madagascar Spiny Forest exhibit, the Carnivorous
Plant Greenhouse and the Garden for All Seasons

redevelopment. These display the power of
biodiversity and the sometimes bizarre beauty of
plants. The future will bring new displays including
an Epiphyllum collection and a Rare Fruit Garden
and Orchard. As the conceptual plan is completed,
even more ideas related to water and energy
conservation in gardens will come to life.

Children and Families have enjoyed added
education programs, activities and gardens. Easter,
Halloween and the TerraByte events all spark the
imagination and provide great social opportunities
for families. The Roots and Shoots Children’s
Discovery Node and the Australian Children’s
Discovery Node both offer imaginative, botanical
activity zones for children and families. Our goal
is to get kids excited about being outdoors,
surrounded by the magic and sense of friendship
and knowledge plants can bring.

The Korean Garden Project is perhaps the most
significant project underway at The Arboretum
and will be hugely significant as it comes into
fruition in 5-8 years. The schematic design is just
about complete. Once designs are in hand, The Los
Angeles Arboretum Foundation and the Steering
Committee of the Korean-American community
will kick-off a major fundraising campaign. It will
take everyone's advocacy and financial support to
develop the first major Korean Garden in a public
garden in the United States. It will be a culturally
authentic beauty which everyone can enjoy.

To all the members, visitors, volunteers, staff,
sponsors and community partners, | thank you

for your support and efforts on behalf of The
Arboretum. The Los Angeles Arboretum Foundation
and Los Angeles County are both committed to
making this one of the best public gardens in the
United States. With your help, that goal can be
achieved.

Best wishes to all!

pond, because the fault seals the bottom of the pond. There
were two other sag ponds along the fault at the Huntington
estate and old Wilson Lake which is now Lacy Park. These have
both been filled in. In pre-European settlement times Eaton
Creek's path used to head more in our direction, so it is likely
that our lagoon had plenty of water.

Currently the lagoon is included in the storm drain system

of Arcadia, so during storm events it fills with water and,
unfortunately, whatever is in the storm drain also passes through
and settles in the lakes. This is an example of how careful we all

need to be about discarding liquids or trash into the storm drains.

When persistent drought dries up the lagoon, there is an area
near the west end that stays damp. This could be a spring that
also contributes to the water. During Baldwin's time there were
several areas that had springs. Another interesting contribution
to the lake water is our own irrigation. When we water the lawns
“uphill” from the lagoon, the soil is so porous, it seeps through

to the lowest point and is retained in the lagoon. And, lastly, we
could turn on a faucet and fill the lake with municipal water.

Now you can see why | don’t always spend too much of my
time on my walk around the lagoon thinking about the plant
materials. The geology and hydrology transport me to another
time and | always imagine those Columbia mammoths, American
mastodons, sabertoothed cats and dire wolves that are depicted
sO realistically at the La Brea Tar Pits stopping by for a cool

drink at our lagoon and not suffering the severe consequences
of the asphalt. All the geologic action that we see in the basin
happened after the dinosaurs (less than 65.5 million years ago).

It also reinforces for me how careful we all need to be with our
water, both in terms of use and keeping it unpolluted. What

we waste, by transferring to our sewer system, becomes water
that never reenters into our groundwater. In this interesting area
called the Raymond Basin what we water our lawns with today
slowly sinks back into our groundwater table and will be the
drinking water of future generations.

HSBC North America supported the Baldwin Lake Study,
through a generous grant of $50,000

Cool Plants For Summer

August

Naked Lady hybrids
Amarygias

Amaryllis belladonna (the name in Latin means literally the beautiful lady amaryllis) is more commonly
known as the ‘Naked lady’ because it blooms in the late summer sans its strap-like leaves which come
up after the blooms appear. Hobbyists have been crossing Amaryllis with the closely related Brunsvigia
genus and referring to the results as ‘Amarygias,’ a contraction of the parent genus names Amary(llis)
and (Brunsvi)gia. The many varieties of Amarygias are the result of this crossing going on since the first
Amarygias were developed in 1947. Here a significant planting of Amarygias can be found adjacent to
the Northwest corner of the Baur Lawn.

September

Soft Leaf Yucca
Yucca recurvifolia

This Yucca is native to the gulf coastal plains of the Southeast U.S., including the coasts of Georgia and
Alabama. Considering it's a beachgrower, it’s kind of picky about its soil; preferring well drained loam. ne
Still it’s worth trying because making sure the soil is right is a small price to pay for Yucca recurvifolia’s
reward; gorgeous creamy chandelier-like blooms that appear in late summer to early fall.

For more information about plants in bloom at The Arboretum and d the world visit The Arboretum Library or call the plant information hotline 626.821.3239.

Bodacious Brachychitons: The Bottletrees of Australia

Marcela L. Singleton, Grace Kallam Perennial Garden Curator

f the Mediterranean regions represented at The

Arboretum, the Australian section is perhaps the least

manicured and fussed over. It is a rugged section.
Lacking the overt appeal of more floriferous gardens but
seductive in the boldness and openness of its terrain. Its smell
is the spicy pungency of Eucalyptus, evocative of many an
Angelino’s year-round outdoor childhood.

Unfortunately, many visitors to The Arboretum never venture
into The Outback. It is the long loop around the Northern border
of these 127 acres. Remote and peaceful; Australia is home to
the Brachychitons. Strange and sculptural, beautiful in bloom
and out, the genus Brachychiton includes 31 trees and large
shrubs. All are native to Australia save one species, Brachychiton
carruthersii, which hails from New Guinea.

Evocative of its common name of “bottletree” is the bulbous-
based, voluptuous trunk which shows its characteristic shape in
specimens as young as five years old. Another common name is
“Kurrajong", which is the Aboriginal word for “fibre-yielding-
plant”. The fibrous inner bark of Brachychiton was used for
weaving fishing nets, rope and basketry. The root, seeds (which
resemble little kernels of corn), bark, gum and stems are all
edible and have historically been a food source for both animals
and people.

Brachychiton is actually a member of the same family as
chocolate, the Sterculiaceae or Cacao family.

The Arboretum is home to seven species of the genus:
Brachychiton acerifolius, Brachychiton australis, Brachychiton
bidwillii, Brachychiton discolor, Brachychiton gregorii,
Brachychiton populneus, and Brachychiton rupestris.

The species Brachychiton rupestris, “Queensland bottletree”, is
perhaps the best representative of the dramatic bottle-shaped
base. Its delicate, lanceolate leaves create a wonderful contrast
to its heavy elephantine trunk. There is a younger specimen of
this species in the new Australian Children’s Discovery Node
Amphitheatre area, along with some very young Brachychiton
australis.

To view more mature specimens of Brachychiton, continue
north along the tram road from the Amphitheatre. On the left,
about 50 yards from the Amphitheatre, is a stand of mature
Brachychiton discolor, or “Queensland lacebark” trees. Virtually
unnoticed much of the year, in the summer these majestic trees
tower above the tram road and shower passersby with a rain
of fuzzy golden pinkness. Covered with felt-like, magenta-pink,
bell-shaped blooms, ochre buds and large velvety boat-shaped
pods simultaneously, this species is entrancing to behold. B.

discolor is also striking out of bloom. The odd solitary eye
shapes that appear to be carved deep into the bark seem to
peer curiously out at visitors strolling past.

These “eyes” are characteristic of Brachychitons as are the
distinctive canoe-shaped seed pods, which vary in size and
fuzziness according to species. Pods begin with a golden
pubescent fuzz or glabrous sheen and mellow with age to a
deep, leathery brown. These pods often hang like pagan yuletide
ornaments decorating Brachychiton for months. Size, bloom-
color, leaf and trunk shape and coloration all vary according to
species.

Just behind this stand of lookers, just steps off the tram road,

is a little thicket of mature representatives of the species B.
populneus, “Kurrajong”, B. acerifolius, “Flame Kurrajong”, which
blooms a brilliant fiery red on bare branches and B. rupestris,
the aforementioned living sculpture, “Queensland bottletree”.
Dried, fallen, munched-upon little boats lie upon a sea of thick
spongy duff.

Drought tolerant, distinctive bark, striking blooms, architectural
form, interesting pods and related to chocolate. What better
reason to go walkabout in the bush?

Visit the Australian section this summer and see the 1000°
mosaic Serpent Trail installed by artist Leigh Adams.
