Very crowded today with numerous elementary school groups
and groups of families visiting and enjoying the beautiful conservatory. I’ve
rarely heard the conservatory as noisy as I have today. What a pleasure to see
and hear the delight and wonderment in our visitors.

Ever curious about new developments in the plants, my slow
wander through the conservatory produced not only updated information on flowering and
fruiting plants, but also a new interesting find - I found some blood bananas hanging
on a banana plant in the back of the North Garden.

Also in
the back of the North Garden, the red ginger plant continues producing a
handful of gorgeous red flowers in various stages of production. The photo that
I've posted of these, of course, does not show the actual wonderment of the
flower. Come in and visit with us to see them for yourself!
Another new North Garden delight is the development of a new
bamboo stalk. These grow very quickly, so within days, the height of this stalk
will triple.

The Sunken Garden
remains a beautifully visual and sweetly aromatic treat. I can't let a
volunteer day go by without visiting this visual and aromatic delight!
