Botanic Gardens. Oriental Garden
This pergola is located at the entrance of the Oriental in the Royal Botanic Gardens. It is flanked by a pair of bronze lions known as "Temple Dogs". They were made in Thailand and were donated by the Friends of The Gardens in 1998. The garden features wild and cultivated plants from warm-temperate and sub-tropical areas of China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan and Bhutan.
Such beautiful light graces this leafy walkway! Stunning!

This was a hot summer day but the weather has actually been all over the place this year. This morning was boiling hot and sunny but this afternoon it's overcast and blowing a gale.
DeleteAh, warmth, sunshine, green things - happy to view yours. We have been pretty dark and rainy lately. Freezing rain, too!
