THANK YOU for such a fab post on a truly wonderful garden. It was a great pleasure to see it through your eyes & pen (keyboard?).

You have a new blog follower now. And I await your post on the Rock Alpine Garden in a not-so-patient way at all (she says sitting on her hands). Guess I'd say Panayoti is way more than "kind of lucky"…

I find this so odd, since Denver has been a world-class city as long as I can remember – as a child of the 60's and 70's, I always associated Denver as being the gateway to the Rockies and posh ski resorts. Today, with its many art museums, history and new airport, even more so. Where does this feeling come from? Maybe it only exists in the minds of those over 70 years of age? Ask any younger person, and I imagine that they would never identify with such prejudice in our inter-connected wired world.

I've lost track on how many people who last visited Denver (often they say, "1968", "1976"), tell me how it's a "cow town", so tiring to hear that. It is truly a world class city, and such a classy botanic garden would have to be present for it to be that way.

You might like the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, too. Worth a visit (but not now – 116 last week).
