Mounts Botanical Garden

David and I went to the plant show at the Mounts Botanical Garden today. He was not able to attend yesterday. I brought my Canon PowerShot SD 800 IS to take some shots of the garden. I will have to return on another day for better shots of the garden because the plant show blanketed the beauty of the garden. I did purchase another orchid for my collection.
