June 19 - Juneau

The Mendenhall Gardens were fabulous. Inside a hothouse at the entrance were countless pots of many different varieties of flowers. Like these lovelies...

One of the most interesting features of the gardens are these "Alaskan Palm Trees." The owners of the gardens formed them by inverting complete trees and using the exposed root systems as bases for lichen, moss, dirt, and lovely flowers.

How about a closer view of the fancy flowerpots?

My lovely bride shares this exposure with more of the Alaskan Palms...
Being somewhat thirsty after our excursion to the gardens, we decided to stop at the Red Dog Saloon for some sustenance. Here's a pic I made of the interior.
