Pretty Flowers 'n' Stuff

MD and I went to the Chicago Botanic Garden Friday. Despite what the propaganda said, not much was in bloom. But we still had a pleasant time.

MD was very patient with me as I screwed around with my camera taking these pictures:

The purple tentacles and creepy, squared-off trees look like something out of Labyrinth. No talking puppets anywhere, were there?

Didn't see any puppets...that I noticed.

But MD could totally take Jareth.

If Jennifer Connelly could take Jareth as a flighty teenager, I have no doubts about MD.

But I'd totally watch that movie. I bet there'd be blood. XD

Wow, the only flowers I recognize are the poppies. I'm thinking none of those other things grow South of the Mason-Dixon. I love that orange-yellow flower at the bottom.

The square-topped trees are nowhere near as terrifying as the topiary in the gated communities the kudzu around here.

You may have observed that the only flowers I recognized were poppies. And for all I know, I got that wrong.

Feni and Takadai_no_tora tell me that the orange yellow flowers are ranunculus.
