"Pomona: A Tapestry of Nature's Bounty" Step into the enchanting world of Pomona, where nature's treasures flourish in abundance. From the succulent Wilmots Late Scarlet Strawberry to a myriad of Gooseberry varieties, this place is a haven for fruit enthusiasts and garden lovers alike. In 1872, Julia Margaret Cameron immortalized Pomona through her lens, capturing its essence in ethereal black and white photographs. One such image showcases the delicate beauty of the Yellow flowered California poppy, Eschscholzia californica (Volume II, Plate 52), while another reveals the intricate details of Volume II, Plate 44 - Many small yellow roses known as Lady Banks rose or Rosa. As you wander through Pomona's orchards, you'll stumble upon ripe fruit and leaves of Brown Beurre Pear (Pyrus communis) glistening under the sun. The vibrant Scarlet flowered Avens (Geum coccineum) adds a splash of color to this idyllic landscape. But Pomona isn't just about flora; it also embraces artistry and grace. In Rackham's interpretation titled "Pomona, " he weaves magic with his brushstrokes that transport us to an otherworldly realm. Meanwhile, Pearl Argyle captivates audiences as she dances like a ballerina in Vic-Wells Ballet's production named after this very place. The final touch comes from Ripe fruit on vines intertwined with yellow flowers – an exquisite display that epitomizes Pomona's allure. This captivating tapestry celebrates nature’s bounty at its finest – a symphony for all senses within these hallowed grounds.
