"The Bachelor and Three Graces" in Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is a group of four trees, three of them growing very close together, with a fourth a little more distant. It is said that their roots are so intertwined that if one of them were to fall, it would likely bring the others along with it.

Apparently, the trees were named simply for their proximity to one another. As the Bachelor tries to get the attention of one of the Three Graces. "The Three Graces," in Greek Mythology are said to be goddesses of such things as charm, beauty, and creativity. They were also the title subject of a 16th century painting by Raphael, and a 1908 opera which opened at the Chicago Opera House.
