Field Trip: Denver Botanic Gardens


I took a little trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens yesterday morning. It was a beautiful morning to explore the gardens and to take in the new Dale Chihuly exhibit. Here are some of my pictures from the day. 




I really like the color of these. They remind me of snakes. 






If I ever have a big garden, I want one of these in it somewhere.

I would eat my breakfast there every morning. 


Lucky lily pads. 

This is some kind of swamp oak. I think it is a beautiful tree. 


These three birds, actually there were four but the other is on a different branch, were making the biggest racket. I don't think they liked people being in their garden.  

This little ladybug was kind enough to pose for me. 

I really like this flower, but I don't know what it is. 

Purple glass stakes in the middle of the rock garden. Strange but also kind of neat at the same time. 

I really like this flower too. Its name has something to do with a bear, but I don't remember the rest. I guess I should pay more attention to all those little placards telling what each plant is. 







This is my favorite of the Chihuly pieces. 




A Chihuly tree. This is the kind of sculpture that first comes to mind when I hear the name Chihuly. 

Chihuly lily pads. They're so delicate. 



This exhibit will be up through the end of November. If you are in the Denver area, I highly recommend going to see it.
