Botanic Gardens

“Take time to linger and smell the flowers.”

The sun spreads light over the pathways and the tulips nod their lazy heads to the sky.

The showy evening primroses fill ditches with pink awe. Who can note their sweet lace petals and not behappy for spring?

The inside of a tulip is as beautiful as its outer shape. A black star fills this red beauty.

The zaleas are heavenly. Bees and butterflies hover over the petals

Cone flowers and daisies call out to the bees and hummingbirds. Even the hummingbird moths love their colors.

The tulips dance in the spring breeze and their notes ring out in the sunshine. The green stems and leaves tell us summer is just around the corner.
