Butchart Gardens March 19, 2009

Happiness is getting the very front parking spot right beside the rack of Butchart-supplied umbrellas. The weather was rainy but mild.

The following two pictures show a model of the carousel (with 'extra' roof to show underside construction) and the actual thing as it is being built. I wonder if they will charge extra to ride on it.

This looks like an autumn crocus (which isn't a real crocus) but it's not autumn.

The outside gardens should be perking up soon.

Crocus are still out, which seems later than usual.

Inside, I thought I'd better get a picture of the wisteria before it fades. At the end of the month "Spring Prelude" will end and I imagine the indoor garden will be turned back into a restaurant.

I'm not sure what the little blue flowers are... maybe type of Muscari?
