Completing The Journey in British Columbia, Canada

I've never been this behind blogging... work, illness, all got in the way.  I want to post of few special photos completing our trip to Vancouver Island.   First, the history behind Butchart Gardens.

My hubby fell in love with a tulip called Tulipa....a tight blossom with horn-like petals almost looking like they would produce music in the wind. 

                       Such  beautiful wisteria!

 I did stop by the Empress Hotel to purchase some specialty teas!!! 

I'll post only one more.... not from Victoria as are the above photos, but of this elegant bagpiper from Nainamo BC the previous day...  perhaps a future portrait.
