Cherry Blossom Time at Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens are the world famous Victorian Gardens where plants are still collected and brought from around the world. They have a plant that came to the gardens in the 1700's that is about 250 years old! I had heard that this time of the year was a good time to visit because the cherry trees are in blossom. So when the weatherman missed the forecast yesterday (said it was going to snow and the sun was shining and mild), we grabbed our jackets and hopped a train to Kew. The two for one deal helped out with the entry fee and we had a free tour from a lady who is truly in love with plants. The daffodils were on the wane and the bluebells just coming on, but the cherry trees did not disappoint. It was a great day out and we are more impressed with God's creativity than ever.
