Alrighty. This is just ONE little portion of the St Louis botanical gardens called the Ottoman garden. We went to the Botanical gardens when the inlaws were in town from NJ back in May. The text on the top corner says

 

"The Ottoman Garden, which opened in August 2006 east of the historic Linnean House

conservatory, is a unique quarter-acre walled garden that makes public and carries on the little-known but great gardening tradition of the Ottomans. It is particularly significant because there are no surviving examples of this type, which was developed between the 16th and 19th centuries in what is now Turkey. St. Louis and Istanbul, the Imperial capital of the Ottoman Empire, lie roughly at the same 40° latitude, offering the climatic opportunity to feature many of the same plants." (got that from the Botan. Garden website! )

i love the composition of your layout, the squares make everything so neat and peaceful, and the bright pink is such an unusual contrast to the lovely garden photos. Well done! =)

Thanks! i used a template that I'm forgetting the name of right now but it was from Reimerreason. (where would I be without templates). The swatch from the challenge reminded me of those pink flowers in these photos, so it was a perfect fit
