A lovely day spen in Amsterdam's Botanical Gardens: http://cityoftheweek.net/2015/04/10/amsterdam-in-bloom/
I was enchanted by this place--the meandering paths through thick vegetation, the delicate wonder of the butterfly house, the humid air of the tropical greenhouses. If you love plants and want to wander around with others who love plants, I cannot recommend this enough. There is also a sweet cafe and gift shop. #troveon #Amsterdam

Nemesis

Tiny in comparison to Kew Gardens but in early September there was absolutely nothing to see. It was only saved by the butterfly house.
