Re: Pics/Botanic Gardens

Plus the MBOT (Missouri Botanical Gardens) has an orchid collection that
is to die for...and the Victorian-era walking parks that are in that
area of St. Louis have some of the most extraordinary water
gardens...lily pads that are so huge a child could stand on one of them.
And the Butterfly house and the turn of the century Carousel that are
not too far away...And the St. Louis Zoo which is free admission is also
close by and have some wonderful gardens as well. St. Louis is one of my
favorite places, can you tell????

The Missouri Botanical Garden was founded in 1859, and is probably the
<br>oldest in the Country. It is a wonderful place to visit. Pair it
with <br>the Shaw Nature Center (formerly, the Shaw Arboretum), with
it's <br>magnificent collection of native plants, and it is a jewel
beyond price.<br>Cathy<br><br>On Wednesday, September 17, 2003, at 11:10
