Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical GardensI had a tough choice today. Cut the grass or go to a botanical garden? The lawn mower lost. I decided I'd go tip toe thru the tulips since it was so nice out. Even though it wasnt peak season there at the gardens I'm certainly glad I went.

Unfortunately they werent cooperating and were a whole lot faster than I. Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Monarch I'd have to say the Monet Garden was my favorite and it still had lots of color for being late in the season.

What a display! I'm glad you left the mower to it's own devices and went. That Monet garden looks like something I could get lost in, lovely! And all those different critters you managed to photograph too, well done.
No contest - the lawnmower would have stayed in the shed for me too!!! What a spectacular place Overland Park is. I would have spent ages at the Erickson Water Garden just drooling. I'm amazed by the amount of colour in the Monet Garden at this time of year. Thank you for the link and the wonderful photographs.
Lovely photos, I especially like the dahlia photo. I didn't know Overland Park had a botanical garden. I'll have to schedule a "road trip" next summer to see it.
What a wonderful day trip, and great pics . . . I am especially partial to the purple and white. Glad you went with the flow, and thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Joann for the wonderful pictures. I especially like the Monet Gardens. You managed to capture many great shots.
You made a good choice, Joann. Enjoyed the beautiful photos. Glad you enjoyed your day.
