Yesterday at Lewis Ginter

Last night I arrived a bit early (okay, an hour) for my art class and I took advantage of the time to have a look around. I knew the daffodils would be out after a week.

I looked and looked to no avail for a label for these.

Nice looking Winter Daphne in bloom at Lewis Ginter (not missing the back of the shrub, I see...lol). That's a Crepe Myrtle in front (love that bark!).

Would you like to go for a walk?

What a mass of Iris Reticulata 'Harmony' can look like (above).


Nice one to end on...for today. We'll come back. There's so much more to see.

    Hi anita! Thanks! It's cold and rainy out today; hard to think that was just last night!

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Wow, really beautiful grounds. I love the mottled bark of the crepe myrtle. Reminds me of guava trees in the tropics.

    Hi ki! I hang out there whenever I can! I'll be there tomorrow morning, weather permitting...and then not back for a while...I'm thinking of volunteering once a month...do something helpful and make sure I see everything regularly!

    Thanks for coming over!

    GG, what a lovely botanical garden. Already lots to see like pretty irises and dafs too. And blossoming trees. Lucky you and your lovely walk there.

    Can you tell I like to hang out there, ye??! I wish it were closer and I would visit daily...great place to take a walk (really)...that's what my art instructor does...she gets there early and walks before our class! I probably won't be back for a few weeks, so I expect many changes for the next visit.

    Hey, you can bike over to places! Now, that's lucky!

Gotta Comment? Great! Thanks in advance for taking the time. I'll get back to you as soon as possible, assuming I'm not in the garden...because there, I lose all track of time...(Don't you?)...Take care now.
