This raised walk was like walking through a forest. You can talk to one another through these tubes that run up and down the walkway.
Below: We are sitting at the base of a hollow, burnt out pecan tree. It's about 200 years old. Near it is a spring that was the source of water for American Indians and early pioneers. The pecan tree was named the state tree of Texas in 1919.
Below: water gardens with several Elephant Ear plants, some of my favorites (in the right setting . . . I have learned a porch is NOT the right setting for such a huge plant.)
End of part one. There were a couple of gardens we couldn't get into without cash. We will be returning with a full report of part two sometime soon.
Beautiful! Too bad I am an unintentional plant murderer. :)When are you coming to visit?
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous!! I wished that I lived somewhere so GREEN! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, would you believe I haven't been 'camping' in almost 9 YEARS?! I can't. We 'camp' in cabins, hotels, and big houses... haha! Okay, I lied, our Clawson Family Reunion was actually camping right?! In a pop-up, without having to cook or pee outside?! :)
I love going to botanical gardens -- you got some beautiful pics!! Can't wait to see what ya get when you go back! :)
