Those who know me best should know that I am obsessed with flowers. I love the vast varieties of flowers that exist. It is amazing to me that there are so many possibilities out there. So many colors, shapes, and smells to admire. They never get boring to me. The Royal Greenhouses in Brussels holds a fascinating collection of flowers and plants. The collection is truly fit for a king. The greenhouses are only open for a few weeks in May when everything is in bloom and at it's best. Because of this the greenhouses tend to be overly crowded which was somewhat obnoxious at first, especially since the only time I had to go was on a weekend when it was especially busy. The walk takes you through several greenhouses on the royal property as well as outside to view the beautiful palace and lake and also the Japanese pagoda. I cannot imagine being able to spend my days wandering around all that beauty with a book and a notebook. How special it would be to throw your parties inside the greenhouse; eating, drinking and socializing among such gorgeous flowers. The gardeners who tend these greenhouses
truly are artists as everything is arranged in such a way as to compliment every flower and it's color and shape. I am really sad that I only got to go once to such a beautiful place and it isen't very likely that I will get to go back since it is hard to go in the few weeks that it is open. Still I have over 100 pictures from my day there to remind me of all that beauty.
