Interesting piebald pattern on these daffodil trumpets.

There seemed to be an emphasis on Gerbera daisies this year.

Amaryllis too.

Magnolias were out and so were Wisterias.

Where Glenn always sat. I don't remember this marble tabletop though - I thought it was metal mesh.

No matter what the weather is like outside...

... it's always nice inside.

Once again it's time for Butchart's indoor 'Spring Prelude' garden. It never comes too soon for me, so to open the door and feel the warmth and smell the fragrance in the air is heavenly.

Indoor Garden

A new fountain which has water running into the centre.

They really went to town with the logs in the pond this year.

Spheres were here in this Japanese garden area last year.

Outside

Outside was not so nice! Brrr.

Historical Display

Back inside to the Historical Display. I didn't take pictures of the pool room because I've done that before.

I have taken pictures of the croquet set before, but they're one of my favourite things and they're not out every year. It's nice to see the music boxes on display this time as well.
