It was not the best of days temperature-wise to be there, however! It was 92 degrees. We started in the greenhouse, which at this time of the year was not overflowing with plants. There were several succulents and orchids. The one with the flower shaped like a star caught my attention right away! I had never seen a flower like this before! We moved from the greenhouse into the gardens. It, too, I'm sure would have been much prettier earlier in the season. I'll have to remember this for another visit next year. We saw lots of the typical flowers you would expect to see. Lots of little butterflies and bees and bumble bees flying around minding their own business. There was even a bricked "pond" with tons of lily pads and beautiful flowers of purple and yellow and cream.
After the gardens we walked on a nature trail which proved to be very uninteresting. Then we headed for home. Later in the afternoon we went to Olive Garden to use up a gift card and a coupon we had. We ended up paying $2.94 plus the tip for our meal! We ate fairly cheaply and later commented that we could have eaten a whole lot of the same thing (spaghetti) at home for the price. But, then I would have had to fix it! :)
The kit used is "Slice of Summer" created as a collaboration of some of the designers at Digitals for the posting bonus give-away for the July challenges. I love the colors! Click on the page to find it in the store.
