I have finally gotten a little time to breathe and get a few things posted up on the blog!!! phew……It seems like forever since I have written. Salt Lake was awesome! Let me say that if you have never been there, you need to go!! It was absolutely beautiful, the city was clean, you felt safe any where you went and there was just so much to do. We had one day of free time and I took the day to walk the city. I went to the Temple, up the the Red Butte Botanical Gardens (up pass campus) and then down to Liberty Park where they had a great place to just sit and read for a while. The Park also has Tracy’s Aviary, which was under construction, but still had a wide variety of Birds to see. I never realized how big a Californian Condor was…..HOLY COW that sucker was BIG!!!!! You know when they say that they can get 5 feet tall and their wing spans can reach 9 feet, you don’t really think that is possible……until you actually see it!!!! Anyway, I took some pictures along the way of my 8 hour adventure of the city, by myself I might add, no one wanted to join me! Hope you all enjoy part of the journey with me……..Jessica

Sounds like you had a very relaxing day. Good for you!
I think the flower is a fritilaraia.
I think the oragne flower is a fritallaria. Check Brent and Becky’s bulbs for pictures.
The plant you questioned is a Crown Imperial. It is a bulb. I know you can order them through Breck’s. And, I agree, Salt Lake City is a beautiful city. I lived there for many years and really miss the mountains and all the beauties of nature in the area. If you ever get a chance to visit again, be sure to take some extra time and go to southern Utah, especially Zions Canyon. It will take your breath away. Bryce Canyon, Cedar Falls, Thanksgiving Point, and Park City are a few other places of interest in Utah.
Fabulous photos Jessica! Appreciate your sense for beauty …. my friends and I met you when we retreated the wknd Tina filled in as cook at the Gathering. We loved shopping & sewing that wknd. Look forward to your future posts.
THANK YOU JANELL, TINA AND I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME FILLING IN AND MEETING ALL OF YOU LADIES! HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SOON! JLH
Fritallaria for sure!
