Old Westbury Gardens Part 2

So I showed you some of the gardens last week. He are some more. 


Does anyone know what these yellow flowers are called? I have never seen them before but I love them. 


All of the tulips were in bloom. 


They were everywhere.


They had so many different colors.


I also loved all of the stone walls that divided the different gardens.


Some of the trees were in bloom too and they were gorgeous. 


Purple is my favorite color so I spotted these beauties from far away.


Anybody know what these curly things are? They had tons of them. I assume they weren't fully bloomed yet.  I don't know my flowers the way I know my vegetable plants. 


It really was a beautiful palace. I would say about half of the flowers were in bloom. Online reviews talked about all of the rose gardens so I hope to get back to see them soon.

    The curled up up plants look like fiddle head ferns.

    I have no idea what the yellow flowers are but they are lovely. The curled plants do look like fern fronds.

Oreo Got Hurt

She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
