I was actually concerned that this 4 fun friday was going to be canceled on the count of rain. Fortunately luck was with us this morning. The rain held off and we ventured over to the Southeast Botanical Garden. I can't believe that it took this long for me to discover this little bit of Eden. I love flowers and there were flowers and colors bursting everywhere. There are koi ponds, a small children's play area, snack/drink vendor and the Botanika Garden Restaurant located on the property. The Botanika Garden Restaurant serves a lunch Buffet from 11 am to 14:30. Due to the children's early release from school today I was limited on time but I did have fun taking the photographs found here. I plan on going back when I'm not limited in time to capture the images of the beauty and tranquility of the Southeast Botanical Gardens.
Go visit the Southeast Botanical Gardens this June to view the Lotus Festival Friday. There will be approximately 1,000 blooms. Not only are they beautiful but you will enjoy their sweet fragrance.
