A couple of weeks ago my stepmom and I enjoyed a day of touring around the “hometown” and our last stop of the day was a tour of the Tulsa Botanic Garden. If you are interested at all in gardening, its a great destination! It’s only about 6-7 years old, but the operators have really made a beautiful place in the really…. REALLY remote location. It seems like you can’t possibly be going the right way, but keep on going! It’s worth it! It’s actually in Osage County, it’s so far out!
The gardens are super well-tended, and mostly well-marked. They said I could send a photo to them for identification, and I still need to do that… As with most garden visits, this one left me feeling inadequate and quite envious. I’d see a bed chock-FULL of some gorgeous specimen, and say to myself, “Mine never look like that!!” Thankfully, I was with my stepmom Lana, and she’s a Master Gardener and has always had an incredible yard out at Indian Springs. And she said it some, too! Small comforts!

Unidentified plant to ask about! 
Blue something salvia making me envious.
Love these birch trees! 
Several whirligigs added some fun to the Children’s Garden area – this one is the dragonfly. 
Althea, just like mine at home!
Thanks for a fun day, Lana!
