With spending so much time looking for flowers near our house it was time to visit the arboretum.
We haven't been to the arboretum in a couple months so off we went. Viva and Catty stayed home and D'light came along.
"I hope this trip won't be all about finding flowers! Hopefully we find critters!"
Alstroemeria
Calendula
Garlic!
Here's what comes out of the round top of the plant
Mountain laurel (Kalmia)
The detail of in the flowers is beautiful
We make the 45 minute walk to the arboretum
At the visitors center and D'light is scanning for squirrels.
Love all wisteria lined path
Wisteria
We find vibrant alstroemeria
There's a big project going on that the arboretum. They are creating a new path/trail which will be wonderful when it's complete. D'light wants to get behind the fencing but, no luck as that's part of the new path.
Time to get a move on
Atlantic nineback
We've never seen such a red madrone tree!
D'light having a great time!
Pretty fuchsia
Pretty and I don't know what it is!
Monkey Puzzle and this is really cool!
Oakleaf hydrangea
Lots to see!
Beautiful primula bulleyana and see the bumble bee
"Where to next?"
Pretty snowball bush in the background.
Time to see more of the arboretum
Sniffing for squirrels
Looking good!
Some of the rhododendrons are still in bloom
"Where are you critters?"
D'light has zero interest in looking at me unless I was holding a squirrel!
The magnolia are not yet in full bloom.
Here is one of the two we found.
WOW - love the color of this Iris!
And Brett got the gold star for finding this mushroom grove!
Stay tuned to see more of our arboretum trip!
