Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
Lovely scene Tigs - a great blend of flowers, shrubs and that wonderful pond with the lilypads - the Gardens are a great place for photo ops throughout the year - Well Done!!!!!!!
Think to see at the foreground 'showy stonecrop', aka 'ice plant', aka 'butterfly stonecrop' (Hylotelephium spectabile). The flowers at the background resemble a species of 'asters' (not yet identified by me however). Together with the 'elements' mentioned in the above comments, you have provided us with a beautiful and very interesting composition again. Think I've to pay a visit to the Calendar gardens as well, lol.

I didn't notice the dragonfly, even in full size, until I read Russ's comment. Looks like a beautiful place to be with a camera, Sandi. Excellent color and clarity.
Looks like sedum "Autumn Joy" in front there Sandi and cannot identify the rest other than to say it's a lovely spot especially in the fall - well captured.
