Botanical Gardens

The Columbia Riverbanks botanical garden is only about an hour away so we took a short trip there today. It's a gorgeous place, and I love that they have all the plants labelled so I can figure out what I want (and sometimes what I already have).

This is one of the prettiest zinnias I've ever seen. Zinnias haven't grown well for me in this area, but I'm going to try again.



I've already posted pictures of our own passionflowers but they just astound me with how intricate they are.



This is what I want my yard to look like someday -- wild and free!
