Last Tuesday: Denver Botanic Gardens (Part 4, the last part)
The final part of the garden pictures from last week. Finally!
Bee!
Dogwood.
In the plains garden:
Nice vibrant paintbrush.
Prickly pear.
Intensely blue larkspur.
Flax.
And then to the little river area that borders the plains on one side and the montane gardens on the other:
Which really just means more koi. :)
I love the classic tri-color ones.
Alex named this one "Patches."
Patches wants food. :o :O :o
I am always delighted to see this one! A really unique gold color, and the fanciest fins!
Another very striking one is this silver one. So getting the silver one and the gold one next to each other (plus a nicely classic orange one) seems like it should be good luck, haha.
Then we headed back through the montane gardens toward the alpine and rock gardens:
Solomon's seal. (Had to look this one up!)
A lovely mix of flowers!
Over by the orangery, and the other semi-indoor and greenhouses:
It was slooooowly closing up on its snack.
I do always love the carnivorous plants. :)
Then inside, to the pavilion where they have most of the orchids.
The dangling petals are so loooooong!
I was apparently quite taken with that feature.
Then a quick walk through the conservatory. I would have stayed longer, but I think Taylor was getting quite tired.
A hibiscus so perfect it looked fake.
Also had to look this one up: Rangoon creeper, apparently.
Bee!
Dogwood.
In the plains garden:
Nice vibrant paintbrush.
Sixteen more pictures
Prickly pear.
Intensely blue larkspur.
Flax.

It's been a while since I've been to the botanical gardens (shamefully >.<) - do they have any of the smells just like chocolate variety of orchids?
