A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Attention Cindy: Norfolk Botanical Garden Pics

This is the first time I've tried this, let's see if it works.
I promised these pictures 2 years ago, but just now have gotten around to getting a photobucket account.
I visited here on March 19, 2006. I'm not really happy with the quality of the pics as it was cold that day and my shutter was sticking, so some of the pictures are overexposed or blurry. I lost the second sheet of plant names for the photographs, so some of the plants in the last half are unknown or indefinite.

This is the place Cindy. The name was changed from The Azalea Gardens to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens in 1955. Here's the history of it:

Norfolk now has an annual Azalea Festival complete with two parades, the Queen's Ball, Queen Azalea's Fashion Show, NATO Fest and the Queen's coronation in Rennaissance Court at the Botanical Gardens.
Here is the festival website (check out the photo gallery):

Uh Cindy - are you saying you were born before 1955?
Cause I thought you were younger than that?!?
