they look gorgeous!
Sometimes I wish I had a garden even though I know it would be very modest in design

J In the States I love Cypress Gardens down in Florida. When I went it still looked like the old Florida tourist spot before the theme parks love. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst

Oh boy, does that remind me that I haven't been to Powell Gardens yet this year.  It's only 50 miles from here and it is always wonderful.  I must insist that it be on my schedule for one day this week.  Beautiful pictures.

Beautiful
If you ever get a chance you should visit the Biltmore Gardens in Asheville, NC.  They are wonderful.

Lush, so un Arizona like ! The one thing that I miss is a fabulous garden.

Arizona doesn't really allow for water usage like that. Though people are coming up with very pretty native plants which flower, etc. Many are new plants from arid Africa and South America, offering us more choices in drought resistant plants.

But wet places contain gardens that just sing Oratorios by Handel to me...........like the ones that you photographed here.

Those are some incredible gardens. I have never seen anything like that up close in person.

I don't understand...
How is it you are not still wandering around those gardens?  How difficult it must be at the end of the day, to get everyone out so they can close up!
