Evening flowers at Ginter gardens

Steve and I visited Lewis Ginter Gardens.   They were open til  9 so people could enjoy them late into the evening. 


I always have to see what is in the gift shop when I get there
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
gorgeous tulips as we make our way to the house
 
little johnny jump ups as under plantings

music on the lawn with refreshments


blurry but I had to show the plantings and how they have them arranged so neatly

inside  , I love the soft colors and the wood
sun room overlooking the lake
beautiful billowy curtains
we asked about the lake and were told it actually was a creek.  Lewis Ginter dammed it up to make the large water it is today.

So you had a nice evening. I like ruins in a garden, but only old one. Its modern tuday, to make a new ruin.
