More from Austin: Zilker Botanical Garden

I will try to keep the babble to a minimum and let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy :)

The rose garden

Love the glads!

And the cannas.

Hello there, Mr. Dragnofly

love it 

The koi were playing with these lilies. Or snacking. 

The cannas. I want a yard full!

Tiny path. Or I hope it was a path...

Can I have one for the backyard? 

Gingko tree- smelled lovely :)

I would have loved this as a child, and built lots of fairy houses :) 

Japanese tea house

My favorite! 

Parking lots should all look so nice

I need this. Really. 

Want.

Bean teepee

I know this was a bunch of pics, but I hope they were enjoyed :) I can't speak highly enough of this place. For two dollars, you get to walk around this lovely and amazing space. I wish I'd had the energy to have walked through every inch of it (that, and that I'd dressed for the weather. It is hot. So, so hot.) We even crossed paths with a family of younger kids who were enjoying watching the koi playing around the lily roots, and I don't know many little girls who wouldn't have enjoyed the butterfly chairs.
