A Trip to the Botannical Gardens

I finally made a trip to the Zilker Botanical Gardens here in Austin - a beautiful walk which I'm SO glad I went early in the morning! It got hot fast. I'm curious to know what it looks like in the fall; the wintery look is beautiful as well. :) I'm not sure what several of these flowers are, so if anyone knows, pipe up! :)

These flowers are at the entrance to the Green Garden - I loved the color. Not sure what they are though.


This was the prehistoric garden - I didn't get to see any dinosaur tracks, but the plants looked nice. They are apparently ones that were around at the time of the dinos! Cool, huh?



These are around the Rose garden.

I just LOVE yellow roses!


Nice calming waterfall.
I love the yellow flowers - I have no idea what they are, but I see them quite often. Anybody know?

Into the forest primeval. . . . .wonder if this is the wrong turn where I got momentarily lost? It's along the butterfly trail - with plants that attract butterflies.
