Flores

Not too long ago I mentioned how fragrant the Jazmin is here in Uruguay. When we were in Buenos Aires we saw some gorgeous flowers as well. These pictured above really made an impression on me. They reminded me of orchids, though I have never seen such large orchids with this bright red color. The tree was located in the plaza in front of the "Casa Rosada", where the Argentine president lives.



The last day that ET and I were in BA we took a beautiful long walk through the rose gardens which are located past the barrio of Recoleta. The gardens were very well kept and they had hundreds of varieties. There is also a white bridge with a legend for lovers...or rather, those seeking lovers. I can't remember quite how it went, but something about walking on the bridge forward and back will bring you a match made in heaven! It must work...I had not seen so many people smooching in public since high school!
