The feature at Lan Su for July was silk embroidery–all of it stunning. Until I got close to the framed ones on the wall, I thought they were water color paintings. The parrot was unframed, so it was easier to view the stitches, of which there are two: parallel and random.
Water lilies continue to bloom; new to me were the tall ones.
The overall look of the garden was lush green; most of the blooming plants were at ground level. And I learned the name of the mystery flower, unlike hyacinths I’d seen before.
Two especially pretty blooms
I think your last “unidentified” flower photo is a Tiger Lily.
Thanks Florence! Inquiring minds like to know.
Gorgeous. I was at the gardens in 2006 and loved it there. Except it happened to be 103 degrees that day!
Thank goodness we don’t have too many 103 days!
