A
large boulder with three ponds around it holding hundreds of plants,
this rock out-cropping is
serpentinite, the California state rock. In
the winter, huge sprays of white cymbidiums sprout from the boulder
and turn it into a giant wedding cake. In the summer, the sun sets through
the red foliage of maples and Cotinus 'Grace.'

At the bottom of the Dry River, a small pond
marks the start of
Big Boulder Island
