The lost colony and the Elizabeathen Garden

We stopped at the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Not much to see, other than this earthen fort. They had a few artifacts and a little museum. This is the small garden in front of the entrance to the Elizabeathen Gardens. I asked the person at the counter if there were flowers to see. Of course she said there were. Uh, yeah, depends on your perspective, I guess. She was collecting the money, so of course she would say there was lots to look at:)
Cool statue of the Queen Elizabeth that sent the first colonists to Roanoke. Sean kept hitting it, like a bell, since it was metal and made a loud "gong." There was another area were it was supposed to be this statue to the first woman to give birth to a child here, and her father was the govenor. It was not worth the time we spent looking for it.
This would be an example of the flowers that were in bloom in the garden. Many colors, red, striped, yellow, etc, but not much else. A few tulips, and other spring flowers, but nothing great. I'm thinking that if we had gone in May, it would have been beautiful. We just went too early.
