Frankly, this is a tough assignment for me. For geographical reasons I haven’t had too many opportunities to get to a museum. The last time was at the Glenbow, in Calgary, Alberta, where I took in an exhibit of C. M. Russell favourites. That was very nice, but I think we all know how museums feel about photography and reproductions.
So this is my offering in the category of Masterpieces. These gorgeous flowers – the name or type of which I could not possibly tell you – are a glorious example of a natural masterpiece in a man-made setting. I found them at Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
If you get the chance to check it out, I hope you will.
If you can tell me what they are I would certainly appreciate knowing.

Thanks for the PB. I love what I see on your blog. Hope you enjoy mine too.
I think your flowers are a variety of osteospermum. I love Butchart Gardens – beautiful any time of the year!
Hello and thank you for letting me know. Isn’t education a wonderful thing?
Thanks for checking out my snaps.

You’re welcome. I posted on Butchart Gardens last July and had a hard time selecting photos – I took so many! I’m jealous of how beautiful the gardens are, and then I remember that they have a large full time staff – something sadly lacking from my own yard.
