Thursday Thirteen 304: Olbrich Botanical Gardens
Last week I shared a few of my butterfly photos taken on a visit to Olbrich Botanical Gardens last month. Today I thought I'd share a few photos taken in some of the outer gardens.

Those are beautiful. I've never heard of a chocolate daisy. What a wonderful asset to your community those gardens are.
I felt like I was there
Nice! I like the first one best.
Between this week and last, we've both got photo themes going.
Ooooh! the quick fire Hydrangea is gorgeous! I love it when you put these up.
Anita: I had never heard of a chocolate daisy before, either. Chocolate mint, yes. Daisies, no. They are part of a "sensory" garden within the Herb Gardens, where people are encouraged to touch, taste and smell a variety of plants.
Sandyland: Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the "tour." ☺
Alice: Hehe...you know what they say, great minds think alike. Besides, photo posts are easy when you fail to come up with other ideas. *G*
Colleen: Thanks, I was drawn to the flamingo feathers all over the gardens. They have an interesting texture, too. Not downy soft, but slightly bristly. If I ever had room for a garden, even just a container garden, I would definitely want some of these.
Thanks, Jennifer! The quick fire was another flower I was drawn to. I love the speckled color and different texture of the petals compared to your typical hydrangea.
one year I'll build a waterfall rock garden. maybe 2015.
Peark: I would love a waterfall feature in a private garden. The only downside is that it can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Those are beautiful flowers! Love flowers!
*hugs*

Those are beautiful photos! The shot of the waterfall made me feel relaxed almost on sight. :)
Thanks, Kimberly! The Rock Garden is a peaceful place to sit. There are benches and chairs scattered throughout Olbrich where one may sit to read, paint or simply contemplate nature.
Pretty T13. My faves are the flamingo feathers and the grape arbor.

Thanks, Hazel! I'm glad others like those flamingo feathers as much as I do. : )
