Flowers, who doesn't love them? Well, most men might not. :P (I might be wrong) Everytime I passed a flower shop, I couldn't resist not to look inside. :)
I had never been to a proper flower garden until two years ago. A friend of mine took me to a botanical garden here, in Dublin. It was spring, perfect time to see flowers. I had seen a couple of flower gardens only on magazines, had never gotten a chance to see the real one. That time, I didn't expect much because you know, it's Ireland. The weather here is unpredictable. So, I guessed spring didn't correlate with blossom flowers like those I'd seen on the magazines.
We entered the garden without paying anything. It's free! And it's also easily accessible by bus (bus no. 13). The first thing we saw was a line of trees. "OK, it looked like Bogor botanic garden (in Indonesia)", that's the first thing that popped up in my mind. Just for your information, Bogor botanic garden is rich of various species of plants (in general). It has flowers too, but not many, and it's HUGE!
Anyway, go back to Dublin botanical garden. We kept walking and then had a look briefly at a small sign board not far from where we were standing. Then, we continued walking further to the main flower garden.
"There they are!" my friend told me while pointing to a line of collection of various types of flowers.
"Oh my God! Subhanallah!", I was so surprised. Look at the picture above! It's amazing, breathtaking, incredible, any word that describes amazement! I inhaled deeply and kept my mouth open for a while, literally. That showed how much I was surprised, wonderfully surprised of course. :)
The rest of our trip at this garden was simply wonderful. We didn't get bored at all. How could we get bored being surrounded by beautiful flowers? ;) We were beyond excited!
It was definitely one lovely day. I won't mind to go there again, instead I'd love to! ;)
ps: My friend said that Dublin botanical garden is better than the famous Keukenhof garden in Netherlands (she's been there).
