portland's international rose test garden
Back in 1917, inspired by Georgiana Burton Pittock and 20 miles of rose-bordered streets, Jesse A. Curry (a former Rose Society president) convinced city fathers to inaugurate a rose test garden. What is now the oldest official, continuously operated public rose test garden in the United States was born.

We go mostly for the smelling.
But its a great sensory experience all around.

Your pictures are so wonderful. Your little girl has the softest looking hair, I know that sounds funny but your photos contain great texture. The flowers are amazing too, so clear and alive. Thank you for sharing. That garden looks like a magical place.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you. I always feel like a pretty unskilled photographer and my daughter wouldn't even let me brush her hair that day. You are most kind :)
