Lowry Park

I'll have admit, it has been hard to post lately. It is September, there is little new in the garden, and most of it is weedy and long. I just read The Ruins which is enough to make anyone shy away from planting anything remotely vine-like. I haven't wanted to write too much because I feel like I'm complaining. But after a trip to Lowry Park Zoo yesterday, I was inspired. Maybe not to start all the work my garden needs, but to take pictures and post a few updates. (If you are a Tampa area gardener, check out their Zoo Poo program.)

The zoo has an Asian themed aviary that I really like. This picture does not do it much justice, but I like the orchids above the ginger and the clay pot. This the direction I'd like the corner garden to go to.
