The wonderfulness that is the New Orleans Botanical Garden at City Park:
Hydrangea:
I think these are Gingerlily:
Definitely want to plant these — they have…it’s almost like a flower in a flower:
Thai Ginger:
American Ginger (about to laugh about something!):
Water lily:
It is perfection.
Gorgeous, gorgeous public garden design from the WPA and Art Deco period…and then you just walk right across the street to the Besthoff Sculpture Garden, and into the Museum of Art, and maybe make a break somewhere for Morning Call… It is just one of the most wonderful places to be.

Not botanical gardens, but the government has made available to all 4th graders membership in ‘Every Kid in a Park‘ which will gain them and their families free entrance into national parks!
