Branson Vacation Part 5


Veteran's Memorial Garden

One of the most beautiful sights on our vacation was the Veternan's Garden located on Highway 76. It wasn't huge; but, it was beautiful! I had to make more than one try to get these pictures because of it's location on the busiest road in Branson.
The huge pink blossoms seen in the photo above are called Rose Mallow. These are prennial and come in white, pink, bubblegum pink, and red. (The red ones can be seen in the first photo.) These blooms can be as large as a dinner plate!
The beautiful butterflies come in all color patterns and were found at the Butterfly Palace and rainforest. I didn't bother to even look to see how much they were!
This last photo shows an array of lilies grouped within the garden. Among the lilies you can see monkey grass and rock ledges. It was a tremendous view on that corner lot. After viewing this display, no corner lot should be a display of broken glass, Johnson grass, etc. It just takes a little planning and work.
Congratulations Branson on a job well done!

  1. The "rose mallow" flowers instantly made me think of marshmallows! Intentional? Maybe not :)

  2. Very pretty...I'm glad you took the time to stop and get the pretty pictures, even though it took a second try.
