While we were in California we toured the Korbel Winery. They have 2 tours, the main part of the winery, where they make champagne, and a garden tour. The original Korbel house and gardens are still on the site although no one lives in the house anymore. There are some lovely gardens surrounding the house.  I don’t know all of the flower names, but they are pretty. As usual you can click to make them bigger if you want.

I caught a butterfly here:

This one was eye-catching

This is from a rose bush that is over 100 years old growing on the side of the house.

This is a cork tree. Let us all bow to this lovely little plant that allowed wine bottles to be properly closed for many many years.

This was the strangest plant I’ve ever seen. Some sort of Chinese plant with teal petals… wow!

And last of all we have this one. Interesting flower. Not sure what it’s supposed to be doing but interesting.

This concludes our garden tour. If I have time, there will be a tour of the Armstrong Forest tomorrow.

2 So beautiful. I used my iPhone to take some pics of butterflies yesterday. Took them through a dirty screen door and a dirty railing. Because I really know how to take gorgeous photos. Heh.
