Some things in the botanical garden change dramatically from week to week. Other things do not.
Here are some pictures. Compare to last week!
This next one, we looked at from a different angle last week, but it’s the same magnolia tree.
The selfie-tree from last week was largely being ignored this week. It was still in bloom, but not in the same profusion. That being said, there were plenty of other selfie and portrait spots in high rotation.

Many visitors to the gardens find semiotics confusing or inconvenient.
Backlit tulips and just ridiculously photogenic. This week, there were people on collapsible camp chairs, tripods, massive lenses, and different kinds of reflectors, scrims, and shadow nets taking pictures of the tulips. The Jardin officially prohibits commercial photography, but some of the set-ups rivaled what you’d see at big commercial model shoots.
Let’s try that again. OK, this should work.
Assuming decent weather, we’ll see what’s new next week.
