A vertical close-up photograph shows a cluster of trumpet-shaped flowers nestled within dense green foliage. The blossoms are shades of light pink and lavender, featuring bright yellow or orange centers. Some petals have dark reddish markings at the base of the flower's throat. Surrounding the flowers are numerous green leaves in varying sizes and tones, ranging from sunlit lime to deep shadows. Sunlight creates highlights across the petals and some of the surrounding leaves.

Dedicated in April 1981, the 1.3 acre garden was built through the generosity of Mrs. Loraine Miller Collins in memory of her late husband, Earl Burns Miller. Following three years of planning, in cooperation with California State University Long Beach, landscape architect Edward R. Lovell was chosen to oversee its creation. The resulting garden reflects the university’s continued interest in international education, student and community engagement, as well as the Miller’s interests in nature and wellness.  The university is delighted to share this educational, cultural, and aesthetic resource with you. – CSULB
