Bougainvillea × buttiana ‘Monka’ Oo-La-La® in the East Wing of the Conservatory is really a sight to behold! Amazingly, this beauty blooms year-round. #reachforthesky #plants #rvagardentrail #va #publicgardens #Bougainvillea #Oolala #pink #flowestagram #flowerstalking #flowers (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)

A solitary Japanese apricot bloom with just melted snow. Prunus mume is always one of our first blooms, it’s not early. Just right on time. It’s hard to believe something so delicate can be so hardy. #winter #winterblooms #nature #pink #Japaneseapricot #publicgardens #rvagardentrail #rva #Prunusmume (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)

The Red-headed Irishman cactus has so much personality! It’s native to Mexico, but you’ll find it at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in the Wast Wing of the Conservatory. #mamillaria #mamillarialover #mammillariaspinosissima #rva #rvagardentrail #cactus #cacticacti #cactuslover #cacti #gardening #garden #mammillariasp #publicgardens #latergram (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)
