This is one of the many beautiful Roses at the gardens.

Beautiful, LIZ!  Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Liz the Rose if beautiful.

I will have to add Butchart Gardens on my "want to visit" list!

We've been there a couple of times.  Liz is only showing a little of it!  There's much, much more, and it's all great!  They have a program in the evening that's really worth attending also.

Liz, that's a gorgeous photo!  I've heard of Butchart Gardens so often but I've never been there.  I'd sure love to go.

Wonerful photo Liz.  I love shooting flowers, they always smile  .

God Bless,
Daryl Patrick

Would one of you who have been there please answer the question asked earlier:  WHERE is it?  Thanks. (It wasn't my question, but I also would like to know.)

Taken from "Victoria Visitors' Guide, Vancouver Island, Canada".

We were there on vacation a few years back, and I kept all the various brochures.

"No trip to Victoria is complete without a visit to the Butchart Gardens.  First created in 1904 when Jennie Butchart began to beautify the limestone quarry used for the family cement business, today the 50 acre estate features extraordinary themed gardens including the Sunken, Italian, Rose and Japenese Gardens.  From mid-June to mid-September, take in the night illuminations that magically transform the entire Gardens.  There are fireworks on Saturday nights in July and August, festive decor, lighting and entertainment over the Christmas season, and indoor Historical Display from mid-January through March 31st and a Spring Prelude in the conservatory mid-January through mid-March.  All year-round, there is a splendour to see at the Gardens.  With charming restaurants and Seed & Gift store, you can plan to take a whole day to visit the Burchart Gardens-and it will be a most memorable experience."

Sorry, Janet, I replied in Liz's other Butchart Gardens topic.  I was telling Daniel that it's in British Columbia, Canada

Terrific write-up, Sue.

Butchart Gardens

I saw your answer after I asked the question again, Pat.  But I enjoyed the write-up that Sue added.  Thanks to both of you.  Sounds like a lovely place to visit!
