Missouri Botanical Garden – September 2023
/I visited the Missouri Botanical Garden for the second time – this time with my husband rather than my daughter. Both of us enjoy garden photography! We timed our visit to see the Chihuly glass exhibition before it ended…more on that in tomorrow’s post. Today I am focused on the garden itself. The month since my previous visit had brought some seasonal changes: Fall leaves were thick near the entrance and scattered elsewhere in the garden.
Fall crocus were blooming.
I like to experiment with light – the center of a flower very bright…the background black.
Sometimes there are plants that catch my attention and I take a single picture to capture what I saw.
Waterlilies are always worth close looks.
The Climatron houses plants that would not survive in Missouri weather. It even includes a walkway behind a waterfall!
There were bees and butterflies that were busy – but still enough for portraits.
The Japanese Garden is one of my favorites: the foliage changing color, very large koi, lanterns…zigzag walkway over the water.
It was a good day in the garden – not as hot as a month earlier!
