Botanical Gardens - Dahlia Gardens Part 3

On a bike ride around the city in early April, CJ decides to take a rest stop out side the Adelaide Botanical Gardens. It is nearing the end of rose season. While strolling and photographing his way through the rose garden he recalls that the last time we were in the Gardens in the Spring, there were no dahlias. 

It should be dahlia season and he is not far from the Dahlia Garden. Let's have a look. This is the 1st of three parts.

Local Boys in Concert

This Fringe show features four local boys, a small local orchestra, and a local band. It is held in the Norwood Town Hall. We attend with Bronwyn and Neil.

This show was deserving of the weekly award. It is high energy, fun, and with the best of greybeard music.

CJ should have had his Nikon camera.

Crosses in West Terrace Cemetery

How many times have I biked through West Terrace Cemetery and not seen these grave sites? How many times have I stopped in the Italian section of the cemetery, a section adjacent to these sites and not seen them? It is not like they are in a middle area. They are located at the intersection of two roads in the cemetery.

Suddenly one day while biking his normal path through, he saw this section.

Just beyond this Orthodox part of the cemetery is the ornate Italian section.

Here we are at the Dahlia Garden.
The view from the rear is cluttered.
Once inside the garden, the beauty of the dahlias is evident.
