Anima Mundi Sanctuary

Birds have enchanted us since time immemorial. Whether it started with the Egyptians or the Incas, birds have made a pronounced impact on humanity. But today, we need to address the needs of those birds victimized by the pet trade. Anima Mundi Sanctuary provides refuge to birds that have been abused or mistreated by previous pet owners. We give housing or re-home all species of birds. As a non-profit rescue,funds are an important part of keeping our feathered friends happy.

Larger view.














Encyclia Ceratistes - higly fragrant, robust plant.


















Coincidence? We experiment with Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae and this pineapple (Ananas Comosus) found its niche on a sunny log.























Vandaceous orchids are among the most rewarding. These are preparing to bloom.





















Red Passion Flower (Passiflora Coccinea).


















Red profusion - best time to see Passiflora Coccinea in bloom.


















Hidden in the aviary branches, a Phalaenopsis "Golden Phoenix" orchid in full display.


















Epidendrum Cinnabarinum "Deep Purple" in a dazzling display of star like flowers.


















Epidendrum Cinnabarinum "Giant Red" has spread everywhere.

















At any time of the year, you can enjoy the beauty of the Brazilian Jasmine (Mandevilla Sanderii) - Red Ridding Hood.


















The white mandevilla (Mandevilla Sanderei) is an especially showy plant.


















Never would have expected that Zamia Furfuracea will adapt to full San Gabriel Valley sun...and thrive.


















Dioon Edule grown from seed in fill sun... new leaves.























This is too exciting not to share...King Protea (Protea Cynaroides) will bloom for the very first time. See the bud?

Nerium Oleander "Splendens" in a cascading spray of flowers.


















Purple Sky Vine (Duranta Repens) getting ready for the full show of September.


















Amazing display by a flowering clock vine (Thunbergia Grandiflora).


















My pride and most favorite plant, grown from a seed from Florida, this Mountain Screwpine (Pandanus Montanus) is thriving...to my surprise and joy.























Mandevilla Splendens "Alice du Pont" with large soft pink flowers.























We realized that we can easily duplicate the Australian conditions required by this Staghorn fern (Platycerium Veitchii)...they are thriving.


















This Neoregelia Carolinae had to adjust to lower light exposure due to the high heat.
