Zilker Park is close enough to me that I may visit from time to time and try to get some nice flower photos.

I don't know much about water plants, so I wouldn't know the difference between a water lily and a lotus if my life depended on it. Please bear with me if I've got them mis-identified.

In summer of 2006, the gardens suffered vandalism and theft of some of their plants. I don't know how badly they got hit. I don't understand why people do things like this. The park is there for everybody to enjoy.
