Flowers Are Blooming in Vandusen Garden

                                          This is a blooming tulip.
                                 I could't tell the name of this flower. Could you tell me?
                                          Look! What a beautiful camellia!
                             Oh, I couldn't recognize them, either. You can tell me, can't you?
                                          Azalea, I think they are, aren't they?
                       What is this?  This is a question for me. Let me call them "Jingle Bell".
                  I don't know the scientific name of this, but I heard people call it "Heartbreak".
                                         A happy family of tulips!

Vandusen Garden is a botanical garden sponsored by W. J. VanDusen, the Government of British Columbia and the city of Vancouver. It’s not only a landscape garden but also a living museum.

On a sunny Sunday, some of my good friends and I went to the Vandusen Garden. I heard this garden before but I was still surprised by its various plants and flowers. There are too many different kinds of them so that I can hardly recognize all of them. I could just tell some of them, for example, tulip, daffodil, hyacinth, camellia, and azalea. At that time, I could just use my camera to catch the different fascinating moments even though it is impossible to show them well completely. We walked along the path, and enjoyed the plants, the flowers, the waterfall and the lakes. We talked to each other casually. We felt so relax and happy. At noon, we rested on the grass and had a gorgeous picnic in the warm sunshine. That’s really a wonderful trip! 

If you have an interest, you can go there with your friends, your family or your classmates. I think that would bring you a good memory.

    2. I'm sorry, I can just recognize some of these flowers. On the picture both first and last are tulips, on the third one is camellia, and on the fifth is azalea. I think maybe some of my classmates who like landscaping can know the others. We can ask them next week, can't we? :)
