Botanical Heavens

In the dread of a Michigan winter, my chosen mini-vacation is the local botanical garden greenhouse, which is, fortunately for me, just minutes away from my apartment. Filled with oxygen-rich greenery and tropical plants and flowers, the huge greenhouse is the ultimate little spot to get away while it's snowy and cold just outside. When my mom was visiting last week, I made it a point to take her there - I have wanted to for so long, and was super happy that we made it because, being the green thumb that she is herself, she loved it!

Enjoy some of my favorite images from our 2 hour visit. After we walked around, we just sat at a table set up by the waterfall and talked and relaxed. Ahhh, humid bliss, even in the dead of January.

Honestly though, this place never fails to fascinate me, no matter what month of the year it is.



















What a spring tease this visit ended up being!
