We recently visited Washington DC and went to our National Botanical Gardens. What a feast for the eyes! I saw amazing plants and trees that I never knew existed and even got to walk along an upper balcony that felt like walking amongst the canopy of the rain forest.
This was a giant sprinkler at the Daniel Stowe gardens. My husband is getting a nice mist of water from this pond with a walk way built in the center.
My daughter and her new friend! These photos were taken at the Denver Botanical Garden on 9/07 after a rain shower.
I was fortunate enought to be able to go to England. Kew Gardens is the home of King George. Remember the movie "The Madness of King George"? It is a beautiful place with history, flowers, statuary, and educational exhibits.
As beautiful as the flowers are, their fragrance is even better.
