We toured Butchart Gardens today. We came here once before, in 2004.

The tulips were especially grand at this time of year.

The rose garden has been a disappointment both times we've been here, in May and August.

Nancy says these tulips remind her of cotton candy.

The Japanese Garden.

The Japanese Garden had a nice flow and relaxed feel.

It has walkways next to and through flowing water, giving it a serene ambience.

More tulips in the Italian Garden.

The Italian Garden was much more structured to resemble an Italian piazza.
