The cistus is the border used around the other beds. Under the trees are
planted calceolarias, gebara, Shasta daisies, potentilla, columbine, and
many other showy flowers.

The conventional standards at the south end of the cloister are aids in
the illumination.

This court is most beautiful at night.

The tower, in white light, has the glowing candlesticks in striking
evidence.

Great clouds of seeming incense rise constantly from the altars ranged
around the court. Fiery serpents belch fire into the basins below.
Beneath the world and around it rises the steam, which is marvelously
illuminated.

The North Court of the Ages



Eucalypti, acacias, English laurel and veronicas are banked close
together in this court. Great beds of orange eschscholtzia, the
California poppy, make this court a veritable Field of the Cloth of
Gold.

The creeping juniper is the border used.
