Cool! I'd never thought to look at it on satellite. You did miss a lot. You gotta go back. : ) If you walk south toward the lake from the new building, you'll see the gardens. Looking at the satellite map, you can see some odd geometric shapes over on the right. That's the grass garden, butterfly garden, iris, and lilies. Way over on the left, you can also see a little circle by a parking lot. That's the rose garden. There's a hosta garden close to the rose garden that doesn't show up because of the trees. Way over east of the lake, there's a conifer garden if you follow the trail far enough. It shows up on the satellite image also. The main path that goes around the lake is wide. The path that branches off from that and goes toward the butterfly garden is narrower and used to be easy to miss but I think there's a sign pointing toward it now. I'll link the map below in case someone else wants to see a bird's eye view. You can zoom in. Here is a link that might be useful: Google satellite of Nathanael Greene/Close Park

My kids got a few giggles out of it as well but you can't help but marvel at the amount of time it must've taken to place the pieces of glass and stone used to make those huge things (the statues lol) and they're quite sound. Kids are allowed to climb in and on some of them and they're tough enough to be moved around the country (world?) to be on display in different places. I spelled it wrong I think - it should be with one K. Here's some more images at Flickr.com My kids loved the big skull because they could go inside it.

Ft Worth Botanic Gardens on Montgomery north of I-30. It's wonderful. There've always been "landscape" daylilies when I've gone in past years, sorted by color & bundled together, say, maybe half a dozen for $10 or something. The FT Iris Society's annual sale is just across the hall at the same time; it's a wonderful thing too! Here is a link that might be useful: FWBG Iris & Daylily Sale

I go to the sale every year ( my in-laws are big in the Cleburne Iris Society). To get the best selection onf DL you have to be there when it opens and know what you wanting...they go really fast. I got 2 (my usual per year of big $15 ones) Hidden Riches (yelow) and Bubbling Edge. One of the promenent Iris Sellers was selling all his stock at 1/2 the marked price - he only sells 2000 and newer - so this is a wonderful deal. I got Holly Kosmoly, Prince of Tides, Starring, Heartstrings Summer, Creme De Ore and another Rush Hour (my personal favorite). I spent $30 on DL and $14.00 on Iris...cheapest year yet for me, but I'm running out of room! ON a side note...I've been splitting my iris beds over the past few weeks, if anyone else is too and would like to trade I would love to hear from you. I posted under have on the exchange board, but my only responce was someone wanting me to attend their garage/plant sale ather than an interested person in trading. ~angie~
