Botanical Fever

Last week, Jeannette's dad and his wife came to visit from Wisconsin and brought along Jeannette's Aunt Gail, who is a missionary in Papau New Guinea. We had originally planned to make a quick overnight sightseeing trip to Kentucky but new budgetary concerns kept us a bit closer to home and we decided to visit Fort Wayne's botanical gardens for the first time.


One of the three sections of the gardens has a tropical theme so it was neat for Gail to be able to point out exotic plants that are found right around her own home . . .

My tastes are a bit more domestic and I found these flowers that really caught my eye . . .

All in all, it was just a very mellow, relaxing afternoon looking at the plants and various exhibits.
