This was wonderful to relive through your pictures. I would probably enjoy going back even earlier in the spring to see the flowers that had bloomed earliest in the season. I actually had a top three favorite statues, one of which was the Time and the Fates of Man. This sculpture was meant to be symbolic of the passage of time, the sundial presents the three Fates: Clotho who spun the thread of life; Lachesis who measured the thread and determined life direction; and Atropos, who cut the thread of life, causing death. The entire group is sheltered by the Tree of Life. The entire time spent here at the gardens was like a trip through a fairyland.
