Sexy had a rather big day and we will be dividing up the post into two bits for the two halves of our day. We all went to the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. It is also known as Shaw's Garden as it was founded by Henry Shaw in 1859. It is the oldest and longest botanical garden in the nations that has been in continuous operation. The Garden covers 79 acres and is divided into a number of smaller garden exhibits.
Above are Me, Sexy and my daughter Bonita who has a business that is Geisha themed entertainment and education. She is also fondly known as the Garden Geisha as she is almost always found wearing traditional Japanese dress while at the garden and is always a part of the Japanese festival held during the Labor Day weekend.
Here is Sexy posing with one of the lion sentinels at the gate to the Chinese garden and again on the Chinese bridge.
Our little Tardis garnered quite a bit of attention during her stroll through the gardens and had her picture taken with a number of tourists from all over the country.
Sexy is quite photogenic! Hope she doesn't get a big head with all this attention. Loved seeing her in the garden with you and the "Garden Geisha". That little teapot is on one happy adventure.
ReplyDeleteYour botanical garden looks lovely! We have a couple near us and it is always a treat to visit and see what is in bloom. Thanks so much for sharing.

The Tardis must be exhausted after such an exhilarating day. I hope it had a nice cup of chamomile before bed.
