"Oscar de La Renta's Lush Garden in the Dominican Republic\nGuided by his green thumb and couturier's eye, the designer imagines a spectacular oceanfront paradise at his home in Punta Cana\nA grove of coconut palms forms a dense canopy near the water's edge, with sea grape in the background.\nFrom their property in Punta Cana, on the Dominican Republic's east coast, fashion designer Oscar de la Renta and his wife, Annette, can take in views of beach, breakwater, and the sparkling Caribbean.\nPurple petrea in bloom on a stone wall shades De la Renta and two of his dogs.\nA gate framed by a sago palm and blossoming plumbago leads to a courtyard.\nOne of De la Renta's handymen built this limestone fountain, tucked amid fan palms and other vegetation; the tree in the foreground is a calabash.\nAn artfully composed garden room features the bristling century plant and variegated agave, both at left; lanky consolea and candelabra euphorbia, at center; and diminutive golden-barrel cactus, throughout.\nArchitect Ernesto Buch designed the De la Rentas' chapel, which is shrouded in flowering white petrea and flanked by potted syzygium and sago palms.\nA century plant, surrounded by sword ferns and palms.\nMounded shrubs line a garden path.\nPainted benches share a gravel courtyard."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
