Okay, now, back to the gardens.<\/p>\n

I can only imagine how wonderful it must be to visit these greenhouses in the middle of the winter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Out to the display gardens- look at that gorgeous purply-red giant decorative Kale. Maybe it’s edible, I don’t know. Very impressive!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And artichokes. Such crazy looking things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the Chinese Garden. I love the Lotus plants. Can you see the man in the boat? That is a lantern, part of the Lantern Festival they have in September.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We wanted to see the lanterns lit up but obviously had to wait until it was dark-ish. We decided to head back to the car and just relax until dusk. On our way to the parking lot, we saw this sign. Tintin! How could we resist?!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, Tintin and a display of mushrooms. It was an impressive collection. So many varieties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tables and tables full.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After that and a little rest in the car, it was getting dark enough to go back and see the lanterns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was an impressive crowd for a Sunday evening in September. This is obviously a very popular yearly event. I can see why- it was fun to walk around in the dimming light with the lanterns glowing and people all around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We left before it was fully dark and loads more people were streaming in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a great time in Montreal. It is not that far from Boston- about 5 1\/2 hrs driving. We should go more often. I’m already thinking about what I want to do next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
