We ate lunch in the Royal Courtyard which was surrounded with plants and water fountains.
This flower was very unusual. The courtyard was a very peaceful place to have lunch.
Tables were set up and this was an area for those who brought a picnic lunch as we did.
Another
interesting flower in the courtyard.
This is the Mediterranean Garden and as it turns out, there are very few places in the world that has a
Mediterranean type climate and can produce the plants that only grow in this climate. Below is the map of those places on earth. It is very interesting and something we had not realized before. Also going into the
Mediterranean Garden there is a warning that temperatures can get up to 104 degrees. It was quite warm in there and humid, but I don't think it was in the higher temperature ranges while we were visiting
Mediterranean Rim
Australia Areas
Chile Area
California Area
Pomegranate tree and fruit.
Spanish Pine Tree.
Italy - Figs. My mom used to love figs and one of the best gifts we could give her was a box of fresh figs.
Two pictures of the fig tree. I can't ever see a fig or fig tree without thinking of my mom.
Italy - Olive tree- above and below. The branching is so interesting.
Gold fish in the pond at the
Mediterranean Garden.
Chile -
Puya Flower.
Chile - Another enchanting flower.
Various plants from Chile.
Chile - These white flowers are flowers from a Cedar tree.
Chile - More pictures of this exotic flaming flower.
Mediterranean Cork Oak tree that Walter is leaning against. See below had rugged the cork looks, but it feels soft like a cork.
This is a layout of the
Hendrie Garden which features the Rose Garden, Theme Gardens including Medicinal Garden, Scented Garden, and Woodland Garden.
As the
Hendrie Garden is entered, this lovely
promenade is the first thing you see. At the end is a Tea House where Walter and I later stopped for a spot of tea.
Flowers along the
promenade.
In an alcove off the
promenade was this lovely spot to sit and reflect.
More flowers and then this enchanting water fountain.
A Tiger Lily plant. When Gina was in Indian Princesses, her name was Tiger Lily.
The Tea House and flowered garden,
Medicinal Garden - early onion plant
Sundial - The blocks listed the months of the year and when you stepped on the current month, you could tell the time by the bush where your shadow provided shade.
