It certainly was a great place to visit and wander around for a while. It was so peaceful and to see all the flowers around...it was worth the effort to get there. Thanks for commenting.

You are welcome. But it's been so long since I've visited a place like this... (I am thinking about our botanical garden)

I need to escape to nature, like @saraleo, I want my screen to be mountains, forest, rivers, waterfalls... and lots and lots of flowers. By the way, that Henri Matisse phrase you brought here I love it.

The distance you've traveled... mmmm, it's been enormous. There and back on the same day?

I visit the botanic gardens regularly, we have two, one in the city and one in the Adelaide Hills and a place called Mt Lofty, both are very different but enjoyable in their own ways. I hope you get to somewhere like this, the gardens soon; I know what longing for natural places does, and how one feels when there.

Yes, it was a long drive but that's Australia I guess, it's vast. I don't mind though, I like driving and when urban areas give way to fields, forest, rolling hills and big skies. That's when I'm in my element.

Thanks for your comment again, and yeah it's a great quote right? 😊

😁 thank me again. Yes, yes and yes. Beautiful quote and flowers. Those white and pink ones that look like a little butterfly, what are they called?

A good question. They are the Anemone Poppy. They come in a variety of colours.)

Well, I like them very much. I don't know what the others are called either, nor if they smell good, but don't be mortified.

They all smelled good, sort of like a field of flowers...which exactly what they were I guess.😁

Some of the varieties they had were:

  • Spanish bells
  • Black pearl lily
  • Meadow squill
  • Darwin hybrid tulips (I'll use an image of these in an upcoming post.)
  • Grape hyacinth
  • Fresias
  • Many varieties of daffodils
  • Double jonquils

Way more too.
