Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

By

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

When Dolores and I visit Richmond, Virginia, we are usually there to see exhibits at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.  On Good Friday, we toured the Picasso exhibit  Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris and other special exhibits at VMFA.

On Saturday, we went to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden to see the orchid exhibit and tour the gardens. http://www.lewisginter.org/  "Tulips are still star of the show in April and more than 11,000 are featured. These include 3,000 inside the Conservatory, 2,000 in outdoor containers and 6,000 in ground displays. Companions to the tulips are tens of thousands of daffodils."

We highly recommend both of these destinations when you are in the Richmond area.

Dolores and Roy Kelley visited the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia on Saturday, April 23, 2011. Photographs by Dolores Kelley. Canon PowerShot S90 camera.

Hey Roy. I like the "Water scene". And the rest of the pictures are great as well. I hope to figure out how to install pictures on my posts.

Hi Roy - You have some great botanical gardens in your area!  It makes me want to get out to White Flower Farms in Litchfield, Connecticut - about as close to a botanical garden as we get in the state of Connecticut!

See It. Experience It. Live It.

Such beautiful flower pictures.  The level of detail amazes me. It also makes me want to upgrade my camera.  Being able to see pollen in water droplets on the petals of the last picture just took my breath away.

It is sometimes good to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.
