Orchids and lillies and brommeliads oh my!
Not much to say here, I'll let the flowers do the talking. Mom and I took a little jaunt out of town- about half an hour's drive- to the Queen's Botanical Garden. Although it was quite hot, it was still nice to be outside, surrounded by a view of mountains in the distance and flowers and trees all around us. We walked in gardens, in the jungle and through many green houses. Good mother daughter time amongst the flowers. Mom knows flowers, even a lot of Asian ones, because these days you can get all sorts of flowers anywhere, and some similar species exist in the U.S. It was fun wandering around with her because she has so much experience with flowers and gardening. We didn't have enough time to wander through all the green houses, but we got quite a fill.
