I do plan on going back one day to take photos of all the strange flowers & plants, but for now you'll have to get by with some basic overview shots of the Gardens.
First up - palm trees! Not that exotic really here in Oz, but for a guy who grew up on Vancouver Island - the fact the palm trees are everywhere is just so strange!
A botanical garden would be incomplete with out a rose garden, and the timing of our visit was just about perfect. I couldn't quite get across the sea of roses and colours - but in all directions there were roses, roses and more roses!
And there is always a greenhouse (pictured below) - this is the one bit of the gardens that you have to pay to get in, which is fair enough - but I wasn't really planning to pay $10 to visit a greenhouse on a day that was already 30c (so sometime in the depths of winter when the temp is a lowly 10c I'll pay to visit!)
And to top off the visit, we stopped at the onsite cafe - next to the pond (below) - where I enjoyed my Iced Coffee milk
The next stop will be Rundle Steet & Rundle Mall - the main shopping hubs of the CBD.
Untill then,
D & L
