Wow! Amazing pictures. I love the bird of paradise plant! Cheers, Ruby.

Dave, thanks for that walk-through. That nylon sculpture was really different. I don't know if it's scary, like a spider web, or interesting. :)

Helma said...

Hello Dave,

these are really very nice pictures and certainly when you look at classification magnification. I will be really quite happy.

Kind regards, Helma

The Bird of Paradise sure is a beautiful plant. Looks like a fun place. Thanks for sharing, Dave.

Dave said...

Ruby, thanks. Yes, I think that flower looks great too.
Karen, Thanks. I don't really know what it is. The term "Growth" could mean anything I guess.
Helm, thank you. Yes, they would look better magnified.
Hilary, Hi. Yes, I like the Bird of Paradise plant too. - Dave

That's one amazing garden Dave! The double bird of paradise would seem to be a rare occurrence I think.

The Growth sculpture is fascinating and I love the lily picture.

What a beautiful park this is, I particularly liked the little bridge. Can't say as how's I found the nylon sculpture much of an asset though, to me it looks out of place, like it's just been dumped there!

Emelle said...

Fantastic photos,Dave,and has definitley inspired me to visit.

Dave said...

Karen, yes, I agree about the garden. The flower is one of my favourites too.
Fi, yes, but quite unusual. The lillies were lovely.
Carol, I liked the bridge too. I think my placing of the photo of the sculpture might have been what put it out of place. Sorry.
Marion, thanks. Hope all is well with you? - Dave

The "Growth" sculpture must have taken a lot of time to do! It's very detailed for nylon ropes! Love the photos yet again Dave!
