Dow Gardens

At long last, we've finally toured Dow Gardens.  The main reason for our visit was a belated birthday celebration for Mom/Grandma.  It was a beautiful spring day, albeit a little chilly.


These tulips make me think of my cousin, for more than one reason!


Japanese flowering quince... just need to find a place for some of this in my yard.



This is a very old redbud, by the looks of it.  It is supported by a wooden brace.


These ferns, not quite open, look Dr. Seuss-like to me!

The girls loved watching this little turtle and wishing it a safe journey before it jumped into the water.
