Portland Japanese Garden

Went to the Japanese & Rose Gardens today.  The roses are close to in bloom but not quite.  Apparently, Portland has had a very long wet spell until the last week or so.  It rained for something like 90 days straight, so the roses didn't bloom in time for the Rose Festival. 

Japanese garden was good, but pricey at $9.50 per adult.  Plus I've never been to a garden where plants were on sale.
