October MBG trip

It was just Arline and I at MBG for our October trip. Couldn't drag Ben out of bed or Maggie away from the TV!!!!!  It was a different trip without a child, but we had fun and could look at whatever we wanted without being dragged along.  These Autumn Crocus were growing by the entrance
We went in the Climatron because we haven't been in there for a while-way too hot in the Summer, and who needs more humidity????  There were some lovely flowers in the Climatron this visit
This one was my favourite
They had decorated for Halloween
There are still some plants in the Kemper gardening centre, we saw some lovely artichokes-I have never cooked them before.  Arline said I should give it a go because they are yummy
These gourds were quite delightful
...and check out the lovely blue sky behind them
We walked through the Japanese garden 
The leaves are gradually starting to change colour
These chrysanthemums are lovely every year
Very peaceful
After all these months, we found the tree that Arline had been going to take a picture of every month!!!  We hadn't been able to find it after January!!!  Now we know where it is, we are going to have to do the monthly visits next year too!!!!
They are doing so well on the renovation of the garden keeper's house. It is absolutely fantastic now
We shared waffles for brunch
Our brunch view
This is what my asters "should" look like if they can survive being eaten by the rabbits for a few years
...and my turtle head, we have a long way to go
Found these milkweed balloon plants by the exit.  Definitely need to get some next year!!!!
