Such Beautiful Flowers

Just got back from vacation.  My sister and a friend went on a Disney Cruise from LA to Vancouver Canada.  It was a repositioning trip - they will now cruise to Alaska instead of Hawaii.  A great trip.  One of the stops was San Francisco - so we went shopping. 
We also stopped in Victoria Island in Canada.  We went to the BEAUTIFUL Burchard Gardens.  They were spectacular.  It is family owned - it used to be a quarry and the wife didn't like to view so she created this fabulous garden.  These pictures don't do it justice.  Everything was in bloom - except the rose garden.  But the tulips!!!!!!so beautiful.

 Here is just one section the gardens - the quarry area....a wonderful meandering walk with unbelievable colors from so many different flowers and different colors of the same type. 
 Here is a cherry tree in bloom....so beautiful....
 Here is Krissy with just one of the tulip beds.  The tulips are tall and so many...all types and colors....pink and purple....
 Red and white - I couldn't even guess how many there are....
 Don't know what these are - but three colors where planted together......Couldn't take enough pictures to show everything.  A real treat to see.  I usually plant silk flowers.... so I really appreciates all the work and planning that went into this wonderful garden.
Here are some of the Indian totems in Stanley Park, Vancouver...these are so wonderful.  Love the colors and the very graphic designs are great - I plan to craft with these designs in the future.  Two great places to see if you ever get a chance.
