There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.

May visit to MBG

We did our May visit to MBG last weekend. It was very hot, so we didn't do too much of it. They have these beautiful palms outside the Linean house right now

These are beautiful, hadn't seen them before

I usually take a picture of this, didn't get a very good one this time

Maggie can't stand by it now!!!!

Poppies (for Mum)

Oh, look out, Ben is smiling.....

Whatever Ben does, Maggie follows!!!!

Maggie loves to sit in this chair in the Ottoman Garden

Lovely cranesbill in the Ottoman Garden

I love these plants, need to find out what they are, I need some

The Bell Tree

I think I need to find a place for Astilbe after seeing these

I want some of these Japanese painted ferns too, look how much they have grown

Arline has been taking a picture of the tree every month

The lilies and irises are all over now, but found this nice clump

Trees are looking great

They are renovating the gate house, the roof is going to be beautiful

The Dragon Arum is blooming and it smells TERRIBLE!!!!!

Maggie (and Ben) by one of the fountains

I love yarrow, pink in particular

These ferns are amazing

We took a walk through the rose garden, but there wasn't too much going on. I don't think we are going to find anything like the spectacular display in San Diego.

These are perfectly round

The way that our schedules worked out, we will be going 2 weeks in a row for our May and June visits. We are going tomorrow (Maggie's birthday). We are having brunch and doing the Children's Garden.

First week of Summer freedom. We went to the pool a lot, plus went to the City Museum. We haven't been there in several weeks. The roof is now open, which is a whole new reason for celebration. Ben ran up all the stairs, I took the elevator. How come he still looks perfect???!!!
