The peak blooming period is January through March; however, these plants are interesting at any time of year because of their unusual shapes.

California Tower

Passing by

The California Tower, the soaring, intricately detailed, portion of the California Building, is an icon of San Diego, and can be seen from miles around. The building houses the Museum of Us.

Constructed for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, this beautiful structure is an architectural hybrid of architectural different styles, including Baroque, Plateresque, Churrigueresque, and Rococo, with some Gothic details. Designed by Bertram Goodhue, who included intricate ornamentation, arched arcades, carvings and busts, and colorful tile adorning the tower and domes, the building is reminiscent of the Spanish-Colonial churches in Mexico that inspired him.
The Old Globe

Passing by

Styled after Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, The Old Globe presents works not only by the Bard himself but also by modern masters of the form as well as new, emerging playwrights. Annual family musicals invite even the youngest theatre lovers into the fold.
