Welcome to the Goteborg Botanical Garden: This garden was established in 1910 with an emphasis on horticulture. It consists of 430 acres, most of which is a nature reserve. About 98 acres of the total land is the garden proper. There are also greenhouses that house about 4,000 various plants, including around 1,500 orchids.

Statue: Every botanical garden has at least one statue. I do not know what this one represents, but she sure is pretty! She has water lilies surrounding her in this particular pool.

Water Lily: What is a botanical garden without a wealth of water lilies? I am enamored of these pink lilies. They have always been my favorite species on any pond. (Remember that you can click on any photo for a larger view)

Ahh...love birds...aka Par and Agneta: This reminds me of a photo that Agneta took of Drew and I just prior to our wedding, when we went on a canoe trip together on the Withlacoochee River. Drew and I were standing under the arch of some trees along the river bank some 18 years ago!

Freesia: This looks like Freesia to me. If I am incorrect, please let me know. There was a row of these flowers along one of the paths in the botanical garden. I love the line of flower buds.

Asiatic Lily: There were many Asiatic lilies in the botanical garden. I was thrilled, because I have not been successful in growing them at home due to the ravages of the cursed lily beetle.

Pretty in Pink: Here is the last little flower of the garden that I'd like to share with you. Now, onto Ramberget, to look at the city from above.
