One of my goals in 2016 is to go to the Botanical Gardens at least once every month. Ben and I went with Arline a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, cool but nice and sunny. We started off in the Linean House, where we stopped off to see the camellias, several of which were blooming very nicely.
All the ponds were frozen because it's been pretty cold recently
The Moor garden is looking a little bleak, but there was a little greenery in there
Some of the trees left over from the Garden Glow are still there.
Nice view of side of the house
The herb garden hasn't got much going on this time of year
This tree was the only thing we found flowering in January
The lake is the Japanese garden was also almost completely frozen
Of course, Ben had to test how hard the ice was. There was no way I was going to let him walk on it!!!!
The Japanese garden is spectacular at any time of the year
We went through the Kemper gardening center, found this nice arrangement
Did a quick trip through the climatron, always lush at any time of the year. I'm not sure we have been in there very often when it has been cold and it was interesting that there was a lot more condensation dripping off the roof than in the Summer
