If I’ve got it right this is a picture from “The Japanese Garden” - a public garden park in Van Nuys, California. I believe that is the Tea House you can see in the background across the extensive water portion of the gardens. I especially like the small islands. Very Zen.

Keukenhof is located in South Holland between the towns of Hillegom and Lisse, south of Haarlem and southwest of Amsterdam. The garden idea was to have a flower exhibit where growers from all over the Netherlands and Europe could show off their hybrids which will help the Netherlands as it is the world’s largest exporter of flowers. Keukenhof has been the world’s largest flower garden for over fifty years.
