Lurie Garden in spring

I'm continuing with my semi-regular visits to Chicago's Lurie Garden so I can admire it in all its phases. Because of our strange, chilly spring, the spring flowers have been delayed. The river of salvia was in full bloom on May 29 two years ago but I don't foresee that happening this year.
