NEPENTHE PHOENIX RISES UP

Nepenthe’s terrace was once graced with a beautiful old oak tree. Unfortunately, in the mid 70’s the oak became sick and had to be cut down. Sculptor Edmund Kara came to the rescue. He found the tree at the bottom of the Mule Canyon creek and sculpted the Phoenix in one piece, adding legs of bronze. Aloe Vera were planted around the base adding a touch of fire. On Chinese New Year in 1976, the majestic Phoenix came to land on the base of the old oak tree, where it has roosted ever since.
