I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED ROSES, AND HAVE A FEW BUSHES GROWING IN MY YARD THAT ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO SURVIVE UNDER THE CARE OF MY BLACK THUMB..WHEN I DO GET A FEW BLOOMS I ENJOY CUTTING THEM TO MAKE FRAGRANT ARRANGEMENTS......I ALSO HAVE A MAGNOLIA TREE IN MY YARD...THE OTHER DAY I DECIDED TO CUT ONE OF THE HUGE BLOOMS AND PUT IT IN A SHALLOW BOWL....WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING SCENT, SWEET, EXOTIC, LEMONY...INTOXICATING!
SPEAKING OF FLOWERS HERE ARE SOME MORE PHOTOS OF THE BUCHART GARDENS IN VICTORIA, B.C. AS A FRIEND OF MINE SAID AFTER HER VISIT, IT FEELS SURREAL THERE...LIKE YOU ARE IN HEAVEN...LET'S HOPE HEAVEN LOOKS JUST LIKE THIS!

I always wanted to go to Buchart gardens. Thank you for taking me there in your pictures! It must have been breathtaking. Hope you are having a good week. Twyla
Buchart Gardens looks ammmaaazing! And I'm jealous of your magnolia tree. My neighbors when I was a kid had one...I loved it, and now every time I see one I think of my childhood (if I only knew then how good I had it, lol!!).
Hi Linda
I love fragrant flowers! I don't get enough sun to grow roses and it one of my regrets. Magnolias smell divine too --but of course they don;t grow well here in Brooklyn.
I've heard of Buchart Gardens. How beautful it is in your photos!
I love your new header photo ..is ii Sorrento or Capri? Talk about heaven...sigh...both of those areas are so close to it!
Ahhh...Intoxicating indeed! Just beautiful...like a painting!
Beautiful photos of the gardens. My husband has a brother who lives in Victoria - but I've never been - he always comes to visit us. This makes me want to book a trip!
Cheers!

Hi Linda....my parents went there years ago....they stayed at some fancy hotel right near the gardens and talked about how beautiful it was for years....
