Just a Teaser - Butchart Gardens Perennials


Recent rains slowed down work in the garden but gave me a chance to browse through my photo archive to get some ideas and inspiration.
These are several pictures of perennials from Butchart Gardens which I never published.
By the way, the Butchart Gardens are included in
USA Today's short list for the "10 Best Readers'Choice travel award" in the Best Public Gardens category.

  3. I can almost smell the flowers through the computer screen.
    Beautiful photos as always when I visit.
    After church on Sundays we alway went to the Huntington, but my favorite is still Butchart.
    Today the sun is out, I need some dirt under my nails it's been a long winter.

    1. Linda, I've never been to Huntington. I need to include it in my travel plans when I'm in California. Thanks!

  4. Beautiful pictures of a great garden! It looks as if the perennials are planted in Piet Oudolf style (Dutch architect with lots of projects in USA)

  7. Thank you, Tatyana, for sharing the photos of those beautiful perennials. I have had the pleasure of visiting Butchart Gardens on two different occasions, some years ago, in Feb and April.. Both times the gardens were breath taking!

  9. Even if it they are out of season, it is nice to see so much pink and green, two colors temporarily lacking around here right now.

  10. Stunning! And it's amazing how the coneflower petals aren't chewed the way mine are. How do they do that??? I had hoped to get to Butchart Gardens on my nano-second stop in Victoria last year. Sadly, I didn't make it. But I loved Victoria so much, and so want to spend a full day at Butchart Gardens, that I may have to schedule a second trip to the Pacific NW to give them both their due.

  11. I can see why it's on the list - what a gorgeous garden! So exuberantly planted, and obviously well maintained! It's great to see some garden photos of colorful flowers when outside it is so white still!
