19 June 2011: A summertime visit to the Botanical Garden in Shenyang

Greetings all,
I know it was just wrote yesterday, but I wanted to share some photos to visit to the Botanical garden in June..a different place than in May!  We went to focus on the Peonies, but most of them were gone...some still remained so I got some good pictures:
Just one of the many beautiful peonies at the botanical garden at Shenyang

The garden that absolutly fabulous was the iris garden!  Planted in mass, the iris were just spectacular!

A good flower garden always brings out the artists !

There is literally and army of Chinese to maintain this garden!

Just wanted to share some flower pictures with you here in Shenyang...with all it's challenges and air pollution etc...it's home to us right now and we are finding some beautiful places...or perhaps our perspective has changed to see the beauty in all that is around us!
