Project 365 Day 241: Field Trip

We took a trip to Reiman Gardens today, so we have lots of pictures to share.

I absolutely love these fairy houses!

This is the world's largest concrete gnome. Doesn't he look jolly?

One of my favorite things about Reiman is the lily pads! We think this is a frog's version of a McMansion (you've got your parlor lilypad, your giftwrapping lilypad, and of course your supersized designer kitchen lilypad with hardwood floors and granite countertops). I sure hope that frog is not upside down in his mortgage!

This little guy is having a lunch that is both delicious and nutritious.

I don't remember what these are, but we both really liked them. In the background is a campanile with an electronic carillon that chimes on the hour and plays music.

Adam has been messing around with the settings on his camera. This is one of my favorite pictures resulting from his experimentation.

This whale looked hungry so we didn't get too close.

Another of my favorite gnomes, which was in the tropical plants area.

After touring the gardens, we went to the Reiman plant sale. They were winding down when we got there so their selection was limited, but they were more than ready to see some of the plants that were left go to good homes, so they gave us an excellent deal on these guys. We brought home some daylilies and a few varieties of sedum. Adam wasn't too thrilled that I wanted to get these in the ground when we got home, but he was a good sport and is glad now that it's already done. (Right honey?)
