A day at the garden

Today I took the babies to the Huntsville Botanical Gardens to see Tremendous Tree houses with a ''Splash''
  • We all had a blast! We were there for over five hours.
  • We took our time at each tree house, or water feature.
  • They have lots of new features.  I especially liked the ''storybook garden'', it reminds me of ''The Secret Garden'' {loved that book/movie as a child}
  • I made sure to put sunscreen on the babies, yet forgot to put it on myself. So I look like a lobster! 
  •  If you are ever in the Huntsville area, make sure to stop by there. It's a blast & so worth it!
  • Anyways here are a few photos from our adventures at HBG today!



                                                 Ships Ahoy Treehouse
                                                        Waterlilly garden
                               I have no idea what flower this is but I really like it!
                                                             clover flowers
                                          ''Not in Kansas Anymore'' Treehouse
                                                             HAHA!!!!
                                                      Inside the butterfly house
                                                       Monarch butterfly
                                                            lazy turtle
                                               found this turtle digging a burrow
 
They have a cage full of beautiful canaries. This one managed to get stuck under this container. I told the employee's there & they saved him! Yay!
 
This is a beautiful flower. Really reminds me of the flower in the movie Tangled!
                                                 The Three Little Bear's bed's
                                                         Sunflower maze
                                                   The Storybook Garden

  2. JB,
    Cool pix!
    Correction... i think the clover flower is not it!
    Its leaves don't look right! >bk from googlin'>
    I guess...no its 'Globe amaranth' or 'Bachelor button'! i recon this from back home in S'India. This one does not fade or change color when its dry. In local dialect its "Vaadamalli" roughly translates to 'non-drying-jasmine'. Its used in garlands and boquet! beautiful one! i might try getting one of those plants for ma collection, in addtion to Jasmine ;)
