I spotted this beauty in Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C. This is a must see treasure of flowers and all things growing if you get to that part of Canada.

Almost Monet's Garden
Sunday, April 5, 2009
I'm having a luncheon tomorrow for the gals who are joining me at my watercolor workshop in France next month. A little meet and greet before we go and to talk over last minute details. Next month about this time I'll be able to post the real picture of Monet's Garden. I've gotten permission to paint there and really excited to walk in his footsteps.
This photo is actually at Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C.

Lantern in the Garden
Thursday, February 26, 2009
Tucked in a distant corner of Butchart Gardens is a delightful Japanese garden. Complete with a red bridge over running water and this weathered stone lantern. The purple hydrangea adds a spark of color to this otherwise drab scene.

Orange Delight
Sunday, February 8, 2009
Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC is a gardener's dream come true. And for one who lives in the desert, the begonias, lilies and dahlias are a real treat to see.

Confetti
Thursday, November 6, 2008
Gladiolas are stately flowers in a rainbow of colors. Reds, violets, pinks and greens plus many other combinations. These pink and yellow beauties were growing just outside the famous Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC. Actually, there were near the parking lot. I sure wish we had such wonderful flowers in our parking lots but alas, our weather is too hot for many flowers.

Victoria Sunset
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
My friend Susan came to dinner tonight and we started reminiscing about our cruises to Alaska. I had heard so much about the beautiful garden city of Victoria, B.C. that we decided to go early and spend a few days enjoying the flowers before our ship departed from Vancouver. Susan's a photographer who specializes in flowers so this was a no brainer for the two of us. Butchart Gardens and the beautiful downtown area of Victoria are a flower lover's delight. This shot was taken at sunset just as the lights that outline the Parliament building were coming on.
