Burchart and Butterfly Gardens in Sanach BC. (outside Victoria) 

If you have never been here, you have to go, this was once a limestone quarry, when the limestone was depleted, Mrs. Buchart had her husband start bringing in good soil and plants, now 100 years later this 55 acre garden is one of the most breathtaking sites on the earth.

Star pond.  Hard to see but the pond is actually star shaped. 

 

Italian Garden

This made us laugh so hard, someone visiting from Texas wrote 
"Nothing like South Texas." 

Nothing like Texas pride. 

Cute sign
Pretty Picture window. 

The Butterfly Garden is right outside Buchart, it too is worth a stop.  Wonderful plants, birds and butterflies.
