I was not enthused - I'd rather see plants than statuary. Then I saw your pictures - just in time since our trip was April 15. Because of the weather threats, only 3 of us made the 2.5 hour trip, along with 3 guests.<br /><br />It was beautiful even though many things were between bloom time. We had a beautiful sunny morning for the tour and I made it back home without any weather incidents, though things deteriorated rapidly after that. Thank you so much for helping to reveal this "best kept secret". I WILL be returning one of these days to see again this magical place.<br /><br />Barbara H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-29244209429949286632011-04-15T07:08:38.989-07:002011-04-15T07:08:38.989-07:00What a place!
