Mission in San Luis Obispo......

The Mission in San Luis Obispo had the prettiest flowers and trees.  One tree looked like it had tulips on it, I have never seen this kind of tree before.  The first tree is one of my all time favorites.  Isn't it pretty?

My husband and I went to Cal Poly, SLO. I don't remember the mission. We were there 1975-1978. We loved it! Joan
