Montreal Botanical Garden Trip

[0soyoung]

@0soyoung There are a few more pics.
Don't know if I will be going anytime soon again. But if I do, then I will be sure to ask because now you all have me wanting to know as well.

I liked the bottom right branch on this tree growing in the garden.

Thanks!

If I were to ever get there I would be a human ping pong ball bouncing from tree to tree! Had they fewer, I'd bring a chair to spend the day!

A possibly interesting trivia item is that Anacortes = Anne Curtis, because of a clerical error about 1890 when the town was founded by her surveyor husband, Amos Bowman. Some members of Anne's family lived in Montreal, outside of which is a place called Cap Sante on the Saint Laurence. Anacortes has a Cap Sante as well. It was donated by the Curtis family to the city and continues to be a park that overlooks the town. I'm told it is a similar geologic feature, though smaller in scale than the real thing outside Montreal. Needless to say, there is no such collection of beautiful bonsai in Anacortes (though I am working on it, in my dreams ).

I literally did not know which tree to look at longest and did my fair share of ping ponging. The forest planting did get some extra attention.

Thanks for posting the "underside" view of the azalea. Super helpful to me.
