Oh my, it’s already Fall/Autumn! I meant to write this post while it was still summer but I am not sure where the summer went as it seemed to fly by!
In early August I visited Denver Botanic Gardens for the first time.
Of course I took a ridiculous number of photos and I thought I share a few (giggle) in this post, to provide you a little bit of full summer bloom floral color added to your day!
I think we spent many hours there, I lost track of time. It was an overcast day but that did not detract from the beauty of the gardens.
They had wonderful structures and sculptures throughout the Botanic Gardens including these whimsical/fantastical animal structures:
They had an amazing Dale Chihuly glass structure in a beautiful pond:
Throughout the Botanic Gardens they had structures for pollinators, which are very important to gardens!
They have a large number of lily ponds, well at least for a non tropical climate. My friend L told me most of the water lilies are in pots sitting on the bottom of the pond so they can pull they inside during the cold weather.
I love the reflections on the water in the water lily ponds. In the image below you can see the overcast sky reflected on the water:
The Botanic Gardens has a breathtaking waterfall display with mist rising around it:
And to close out this post here is a tiny sampling the amazing and beautiful flowers and foliage at Denver Botanic Gardens – enjoy :-). (Visiting made me want to run home and plant flowers throughout my entire yard!)
Nature is pretty magical!
