Syngenta Flowers (formerly Goldsmith Seeds), Gilroy, Thursday, September 4, 2014

Who knew that Gilroy was a premier spot for Bay Area plein air painters?   Last month it was Gilroy Gardens, this month (although we missed peak bloom by a few weeks) it was Syngenta Flowers.   Normally we'd expect Gilroy to be hot late Summer, but again, on Thursday it was perfect.   (Sylvia modestly took credit for arranging the weather - she and Jenny seem to have a knack for that.)   Who knows what other hidden treasures await us in South County?
