Part III - Mosaiculture - Montreal

And now - for the final installment of our trip to Montreal to see Mosaicultures Internationales at the Botanical Gardens.  Once again - I have a ton of photos, but you won't need to do any reading this time.  I can only imagine what this place looks like at the height of summer with blue skies and sunshine!  For late September, with no sun and flat light, the blooms and colors were still magnificent! I actually tried to tone down the reds a little bit - they looked almost fluorescent! 


Enjoy!

    RE: Your comment in my blog.... Oh yes, I do love, love, love Autumn!!!!! I'm so happy I live with 4 Seasons. Not that I enjoy rainy Nov. or walking/driving in snow and ice.... But I still love it, that the Seasons change.

    Even in rain and snow and ice, one can stay inside and enjoy looking out at them. And feel so cozy, inside. :-)

  5. What a wide variety of flowers still blooming in Montreal! Would you know the name of the red flower with dark plum colored leaves, shown in each of two photos, just after the orange Nasturtiums? Those silver grasses are stunning!
