Continuing to catch up on posting photos from our dates. About a month and a half ago I took TYG to the Sarah P. Duke Botanical Gardens, which she’d never seen. Except not realizing there’s more than one botanical garden around (remember, I used to live in a very small town) we wound up at NC Botanical Garden instead. Which is cool; as you’ll see it has a great selection of native plants, particularly pitcher plants.
And some great plant names such as Appalachian false goat’s beard, rattlesnake master (sounds like someone who should be fighting Two-Gun Kid or Jonah Hex) and heart’s bustin’.
This statue appears, so to speak out of nowhere, like a guardian entity on Star Trek.
They also have a life-size chess game.
We’ll get to Sarah Duke another time but we’ll be coming back here too.
