Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens

When Lynn was visiting we took a tour of the gardens to see the spring flowers.  They do not last long.


Camellia - April Remembered it's called.


This I haven't heard of before

Beautiful Paper Flower it's called

Looks like snow has fallen with the petals that are falling

Very windy and so nice a day for a visit

so pretty

I like these the best I believe of all of the daffodils

On the porch of the bloemendaal home is a nice place to relax and take in the beauty
