Welcome to another installment of my adventures with my
Mom. Four nights of visit provided a
month’s worth of blog topics, but none with as good of photos as these. (I admit it- I have a weakness for flowers.)
Last Sunday, we went over to the Missouri Botanical Gardens
to enjoy the flowers and check out the Chinese Lantern Festival. Sadly we got there in the middle of the
afternoon and only had about two hours to walk around; this was not nearly
enough time.
The gardens are sprawlingly beautiful, with a variety of
different formats, several conservatories, and beautiful fountains and
sculptures. Much of our time was spent
in the rainforest-like Climatron, one of the conservatories. It was hard to walk more than a couple of
feet without finding another beautiful flower or scenic spot.
The Lantern Festival, which is set-up for the summer, had a mixture
of different displays throughout the garden.
Mom’s favorite, and the most intriguing, display was two giant dragons
built entirely out of china- hundreds of plates, spoons, and cups.
I can’t wait for my next trip to the gardens, and hopefully,
I’ll have another friend to share it with (or the same one- Mom, you can visit
anytime).
