Reiman Gardens in Ames

by

Lisa

We visited Reiman Gardens one afternoon, and Stasia and I, the plant lovers, took lots of pictures. They had an installation of playhouses, some of which were Hobbit-themed.

A newly-hatched Atlas Moth
Emerald Swallowtail – have to look carefully to see bottom edges – so pretty!
A tagged butterfly
Malachite Butterfly
Stasia coming out of a Hobbit playhouse
Tony contemplating the scarecrows
Dad on a bridge
This hobbit house had a green roof
Miniature melon
Toothache plant – kind of looked like olives, good for mouth pain
Caster Bean – very colorful
Corn – teeny, tiny kernels
spoon leaves and forks with red marbles – in honor of her mother, a world-class recycler
“Wrinkly” lilypads
Need to shop for these and try them in a flowerbed
A greenhouse playhouse!
Rocket Larkspur
Quail Grass
Tropical Pitcher plant
A Hobbit home
Garden Canna
Fountain Grass

Then we enjoyed sandwiches with Lauren before heading back home.
