Inhale the powerful scent of an abundance of sweet peas that adorn the gardens of this large corner lot.  Once you enter through the side gate into the shaded covered side patio, notice the preponderance of blues, birds, birdhouses, and birdcages.  A few homes off the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, sea breezes drift across the ocean, the beach, the wetlands, and into this cool, shady spot adorned with coleus, ferns, succulents, and avian memorabilia.  Stroll through into the backyard for more of the same, an English Country Garden with more species of flowers than you can count.  This hummingbird haven is a visiting spot and nesting area for large numbers of hummers.  Originally started 35 years ago with this in mind, numerous varieties of salvias, pentas, abutilon, mallow and larkspur dot the front and backyards.  Not to be missed is the Pretty in Pink Memorial “Grandma’s Garden” corner complete with and old-fashioned rose suggested by Mary Lou herself.
