Royal Botanical Gardens Rock Garden
These pictures are from 2013 and are taken in the RBG rock garden. The rock garden was closed in spring 2014 for the big renovation. I looked in before Christmas and there was still a lot of heavy work in progress.
The opening is planned for this spring, but doesn't have a date yet. One can look at the RBG Site and see a map with the major features highlighted.
The RBG rock garden has always showcased Tulips. Tulips are one of the great spring flowers for us - their colours range from soft and delicate to fiery and intense. The shiny petals seem to make the colours stand out even more. They are a perfect flower for the landscape painter. The RBG mastery of colour combinations is enchanting. But the result is so fleeting. In only a short time and the canvas changes and the artist starts anew.
