It was a most gorgeous day when we were at Missouri Botanical Gardens last weekend, and what a wonderful way to spend our anniversary! We took sooo many pictures, and I have decided that there is no way to edit them down into one post, so this is the first of several.
I have tried to think of how to frame these pictures with words, but I just decided to let MoBot speak for itself, with captions. Enjoy the pictures.

Very old hackberry tree. I love the huge, old trees of this garden.

The ancient trunk of this tree is truly awesome.
Another ancient tree, a sweetgum (and Himself, my gardening and life partner)
Daylily garden, not blooming much yet.
except for this one: "Apricot"
Tomorrow, the English Woodland garden, where I could have spent days instead of hours. Fascinating plants there!

I've heard this is one heck of a Botanical garden. It looks so cool. The chihuohy sculpture simply awesome. They have a tour of his work here at our Cheekwood. I hope to make it soon! What a lovely way to spend an anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI love that glass sculpture! I was there 2 years ago. Even though it was 100+ degrees that day we loved it!
