"Busy" and I had an extremely enjoyable petting session this past week at Kauffman Gardens in Kansas City. I have been wanting to get back out and imprint myself on him, but ... well, life gets in the way doesn't it? No matter, he let me know he did in fact recall our last visit and was pleased for the return check in.
All of the flowers were lovely. They were getting ready to start a bunch of planting, but all the perennials were blooming. The very pale, almost grayish, lavender colored iris below was a new color for me. So delicate. The color of a fancy dress, with lots of layers. The sort you might have worn to play dress up in when you were a kid. Maybe with a pair of those dangly earrings you had to screw on.
There is always something new to see here. The thing is, you can walk right in. It's completely free. You can take 10 minutes to walk through or wander, sit, pet a cat, and stay for longer. I have never been when it's overly crowded. It's a sweet little treasure, and the perfect place to get ideas for things to do in your very own garden. A spot to dream about gardening in, where it is not permitted for you to actually get up and do any weeding or digging, is very good for the mind.
