Botanical

     I had not been to the botanical gardens here in years.  So, of course, when visitors from out of town came by, I went.  Isn't that how it so often is?  We go around as tourists in other towns, but neglect the features of our own?
Here are some amazing topiary:
Unicorn

A goddess

Cobra
I especially loved the orchids:

Looks like a welcoming alien


There's something sea creature like about these guys.

The orchids are all together in an enormous humid green house.  There is also a desert house, a cold tropics house, and a warm tropics house.

Vines in the warm tropics house.

And here is my own little botanical project: 

No special "house" needed here.

  4. Those orchids are weird but beautiful too. It usually takes a visit from out of town family for us to go and visit all out local attractions. x
