Butchart Garden Tour Part 4

Come with me to The Rose Garden!

while the dew is still on the roses"

In the Garden

Sorry about the lighting in the photos.

This was the hottest part

of the afternoon (around 100*) and not good

for great pictures!

I waited for some 20 minutes or more

to get a photo of the alee without

a person in the shot!

Mmmm! One of my favorite plants

Heliotrope!

The heady scent of rich vanilla

or cherry pie!

Delphiniums and Roses

are delightful companions!

This shot above is a wee bit reminiscent

of Narnia! I expected to see Mr. Tumnus,

the faun, at any moment!

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God."

Isaiah 35:1&2
