The rose garden was blooming profusely.
It surprises me to see so many "houseplants" blooming outside in December as we go further south.
The gardens showed different types of landscaping for various climates.
The waterfall in the fern grotto would be refreshing on a hot day.
There were beautiful colors in some of the cypress. Here an Egret kept flying across the pond grabbing snacks.
The Flame of Jamaica was my favorite. This was a very large bush or small tree just covered with these blooms.
The acequias is a replica of the system of canals that carried water to all the missions at one time.
We went through sections that represented the different areas of Texas such as the hill country, the arid southwest, etc. This was quite a nice stop on a sunny warm 80 degree afternoon.

I wonder if that flame of Jamaica could survive our hot summers. I really like that.
