Kew Gardens

We Minnesotans have survived the latest cold snap, and the East Coast is about to be blizzarded (I made up that verb). I thought I'd add a little green to cheer us up. We visited Kew Gardens in June 2015. The photo above is  Gentle Hermione rose from the Rose Garden. The photos below are of the Palm House. The outdoor shot gives you a sense of how huge it is, but it's surprisingly cozy inside.  It was a little too cozy on our visit in June, which just meant that I had excellent weather to explore the outdoors instead. The trip was a highlight for me, and I have a couple hundred photos to prove it. Stay warm and safe...and dream of spring!
