Flowers!!!

Take a seat, friends. You're in for a whole lot of pictures of flowers. Like, a "maybe I have a new career as a photographer for Windows wallpaper images" number of flowers. And this will merely be a fraction of the number I actually took. 

How many times have you heard me go on about flowers, everybody?

Zero. Zero times.*

But today? There were so many. We are in Victoria, British Columbia, and went to Butchart Gardens. It's a hopping tourist destination where the Butchart family turned their leftover rock quarry into a multi-generational gardening project.**

There are multiple gardens, fountains, and views to be seen. But mostly, the flowers. If one flower looks nice, 200 of them together looks better. 

I shall present them without captions because who really cares what we call them? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.***

I can name places, though! There is the Sunken Garden,

the Ross Fountain,

and the rose garden.

But mostly? So many flowers. 

Microsoft Windows, I look forward to your call and request for future screen savers.

**Wondering what to do with your old pool? Put a plant in it and charge admission. Your great-grandkids will thank you. 

*** That is Shakespearean for "back off, I don't know what kind of flower this is."
