12-2-16 Mounts gardens in West Palm Beach:

How I've missed the flowers and tropical plants year around!  Had to get my fix by running up to Mounts Gardens.  It's a reciprocal garden with Missouri Botanical Gardens, so we get in free.  Not that there's much savings there, I believe it's only $5 to get into Mounts. 

 Walking with our new buddy.

Love all the green
