| - We were strolling in the park one, in the very merry month of May.
It was a little bit overcast and a little bit rainy, but it wasn't crowded at all. The Chinese gardens were probably the most beautiful part of the park, and we could have easily spent the whole day here, but since we were only in Montreal for a week we had to move quickly, especially since we slept in and half of the day was already over. The park is huge and it has indoor greenhouse gardens that are loaded with beautiful flowers.
The BF is a bit of a queer *cough* I mean gardener, so he was pointing out the flowers by all their Latin names and throwing random factoids at me about what makes each plant so special which was like being back in biology 101. Annuals, semi-annuals, bulbs... I don't care as long as they look pretty! On special occasions I am required to buy him flowers! How does that work?!
If you have the time, you should definitely check out the Jardin Botanique de Montreal. If you are travelling, there is a train station (Pie IX) very close to the gardens, and it is also very close to the old Olympic site and Biodome.
