I spent Easter this year with my daughter,
Suzanne and her family.
I hadn't been to her home in over 2 yrs.
I had a great weekend.
A highlight of the weekend was
visiting the Botanical Gardens in
Montreal.
Here are a few of my photos.
This huge plant (or tree) is an Elephant Foot.
(beaucarnea recurvata)
The photo below I took during
my last visit to the botanical gardens, in 2017.
Some branches on the left side have been cut off.
Actually, it appears nicer in this photo below.
There must have been a reason to cut those
branches off.
A slow growing plant from the palm family.
This must be a very old plant.
Suzanne has this plant.
I took a photo of her Elephant Foot.She's had it for about 25 yrs.
More photos from the Botanical Gardens:

Lots of lilies

Flaky Juniper

Elephant Ears
Lots of ferns
We walked outside.
It was very cold with the
occasional snowflake falling.
The outside gardens were
being uncovered from Winter.

The Chinese Garden.
It's much more beautiful in the Summer with
flowers etc., also beautiful lily pods and water life.
I like this rock display below showing types
of ground succulents and thymes.
It must be beautiful in Summer,
when in flower.
If you are a plant and nature lover,
I suggest you visit these beautiful
gardens, when in Montreal.
Suzanne cooked a delicious Easter supper
We had turkey and vegetables.
Pouding ChĂ´meur,
(Maple Pudding) for dessert.
A white cake pudding with
maple syrup sauce.
Suzanne made it in her Crock-Pot,
with extra dark maple syrup.
It was delicious.
II had a great weekend.
In 2017, we visited an exhibit on butterflies.
Click on this link to view.
These butterflies are at the Botanical Gardens
for a limited time, then gathered up and
taken to another city for exhibition.
I don't think they had them this year.
If you like trees,
check out this large selection
of Bonsai Trees. In 2017,
I did a blogpost on some
at the Botanical Gardens.
You can visit it here;
This year there weren't as many.
Thanks for your visit.
