FEBRUARY 20, 2014
We had a delightful day visiting the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens,
in Gainesville, Florida. Admission - $7.00 was well spent.
When we called to confirm their hours
(see website at: www.kanapaha.org)
we were invited to bring our picnic lunch
and enjoy their Picnic Grove.
They had nice stone tables with tile inlays.
Papyrus
This was first time I could appreciate the stories of Moses
being placed in a basket in the reeds.
They remind me of Cattails
especially with the hot dog type of pod on the
top of the stems from last year's plants.
The spring flowers were such a joy to see.
They have a Bulb garden with tags to let
you know what you are viewing.
I loved seeing the variety of their
Camillias along one of the walk ways.
Magnolias in February were such a treat,
since we will not see them blooming up home
until well into May.
I must include the Koi fish that were
so colorful.
We hope you will take the time to enjoy this wonderful place,
if you happen to be in the area.
