Smelling the Roses in Victoria, BC

More on our 24 hours in Victoria, British Columbia in July (which I began sharing in the post A Delightful Bead and Button Shop in Victoria, BC ), but today is a brief post on our delightful “floral experience” in Victoria.

In front of the Parliament building is a gorgeous rose garden.

If you remember from my post Agriculture Report: “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden”, John loves roses and dreams of a big rose garden someday like his beloved grandfather had.

Well he was in heaven in the rose garden in front of Victoria’s Parliamentary building!

Here are some photos of the other beautiful roses/rose bushes that we spent time admiring:

As it was July it appeared everything was in bloom in this glorious Pacific Northwest City!

In addition to roses there were flowers all about the Inner Harbour section of Victoria, BC.

It’s such a beautiful place and I was so happy to return again after so many years. John and I now plan to visit every summer, he fell in love with Victoria (maybe it was the roses…).
