We went to Victoria B.C. earlier this month and spent a day at Butchart Gardens. It’s beautiful in any season, even at night in December when dormant plants are draped in lights. I thought it would be nice to shoot a summer shot of a specimen tree that was wreathed in glorious blossoms last April. Click here for a comparison.
Summer is about color in these gardens. There was no shortage of bright spots.
We went to see the roses, which didn’t disappoint. But I was captivated by the begonias.
I am also torn between being a rose fan and a begonia fan. That begonia is lovely.
The gardens are gorgeous. I love that earlier shot of the blooming tree. This place reminds me of Shore Acres State Park in Oregon
My partner was out there last month too and toured the gardens and he took lots of pics to show me what I was missing! I haven’t been there for years.
It really is a beautiful place.
The gardens have been planted and designed so well to take advantage of every season, beautifully shown here in summer 💜
