I arrived at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida, for a lovely day trip a mere two hours before they closed (unknowingly), but still had enough time to wander around the lovely little lake to view the floral and rock gardens.
See my photo gallery of how lovely the Rock Gardens are!
Spending a full morning and afternoon there would have been ideal, so I will return for a full day of delightful observing!
A serene stroll through the Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida, was such a pleasurable way to spend a couple of hours. This would make a great date on a lovely afternoon.

Hiraniwa Flat Garden
Flat gardens make more liberal use of plant material and often visually incorporate outside elements through a design technique called “borrowed scenery”.
Flat gardens are lovely to sit and relax. If you want to exert your brain, you can sit there and count all the stones! ; )
Early Rock Garden
Such gardens were often inspired by Chinese landscape paintings in ink that depicted water cascading from distant peaks in the sea or a lake.
