When my mum first came to England, he used to send her bulbs to plant in her tiny English garden. She tried to make it look like a miniature Holland and I think she did pretty well. I'll have to dig out the photos, if I can find them.<br />Love those curly tulips.

It is called Kingsbrae Gardens and also well worth the few dollars to enter and walk around and look at everything. They do not however, have the large fields like your photo, but do have a large variety of plants , flowers and trees all blooming and very lovely indeed. <br />I am beginning to think that your jacket is lucky indeed and very nice photo of you both too :)<br />May I ask you how you get your text to scroll and the background stays right where it is. I have been playing around trying to find a background that says "Me", but cannot figure out the scrolling text like yours. Any advice.
