Back from my mini-vacation
and already taking flack for blogging. I'll make it brief. Our intent in visiting Milwaukee this past week was to visit The Domes (from their website - three beehive-shaped (not geodesic) glass domes, 140 feet in diameter at the base and 85 feet high, offering 15,000 square feet of growing space for plant display. Each dome has a distinct climate and exhibits plants in a naturalistic setting. These are the arid, tropical and floral display domes.) Anyway, it's closed for renovation until September. We decided to head south to Hales Corners (south of Milwaukee) and enjoyed Boerner Botanical Gardens. We've visited every year and appreciate their plant displays and dedication in the face of severe financial cutbacks over the past decade or so. They're still planting annuals there and I do recommend a visit if you are in the neighborhood. They do a lot of things right, including roses, seen below.
