Wellington Waterlily's - Cam Theme - 52

Every city, I'm sure, has a Botanic Garden/s...
Wellington, New Zealand is no different.

In our Botanic garden - you will find a number of interesting sub and themed gardens.
The Lady Norsewood Rose garden is a popular area and starting pont for an afternoon of walking the tracks to explore and find some interesting corners - maybe even a few sculptures - some new, some old, and definitely some famous...

The Gardens themselves began in 1844, and were established in 1865 - even growing in size by the 1870's. Nowadays, definitely worth a visit at any time of the year.

At the Begonia House you'll find a café and two sections - one for tropical plants (which incorporates the waterlily pond) and another for temperate plants - namely many types of Begonias, but that will be another CAM-theme...



Enjoy this 'trip' of pictures of waterlily's from the Begonia House waterlily pond...

There are a number of photo sets in this "CAM" and one guest pic.
