Very very nice

Thanks for a beautiful tour. I am hoping to go there in the Spring!

Cold Sunday Winter morning and I am exploring some of the other gardening forums (other than daylily).

Thank you for sharing your pics.

So much to see there. I visited way before the Chiholy glass and in I think April.

Gorgeous, gorgeous pictures, all. Thank you.

Chihuly had an exhibit in Nashville last year at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. Spectacular!

Oh, wow! Looks like it would be worth a trip to St. Louis from Dallas specifically to see this place. I frequently use their web database and love it. Nice to have photos to go along with the data. Thank you!

Lovely shots, what month were they taken in? My daughter's BF is from St Louis and we have talked about visiting the Bot Garden.
