Spring in Chicago II

Chicago Botanic Gardens II

The Chicago Botanic Gardens were so filled with flowers and color that I took several

hundred photos.  I will share only a few more with you.

These are beautiful Persian Buttercups / Ranunculus.

The Lakeside Pavilion, which is used for weddings and other receptions, is always

decorated with white flowers.  These are white Persian Buttercups / Ranunculus.

There is a large island for the Vegetable Gardens.  Here they mix flowers and vegetables in

raised for food and flowers for visual delights.  These are cabbages mixed with

Sweet Alyssum flowers.
