Volunteer Park is in full bloom!

This is the last post in the fun series!  In case you missed the previous posts here they are:

 






Here's a collection of some of what we spotted during our Volunteer Park adventures.

Pretty flowers and pretty Viva!




This park was renamed Volunteer Park in 1901 in tribute to the volunteer services of Spanish-American War veterans.




We find a Dove tree




A lone magnolia bloom hiding in the shadows of the Dove tree.




Dove tree blooms




Lots and lots of rhododendrons in bloom.






I love the design on this plant




Vibrant Hosta and cool ferns that are blue and green in color




Tiny blue flowers in bloom




Lots and lots of daphne and the smell is heavenlyy




Another fragrant flower that can be found throughout the park is false Solomon's Seal.





We also find true Solomon Seal





Found some fungi on the ground






One fungi growing on a tree





Lots of pine cones on the ground.  
Viva in the background waiting for me.




Love the bark on this tree




There are a number of memorial trees throughout the park




Love the color contrast of the azalea and blue bells





Lots of camellia in bloom









More bright azaleas





Pretty white azalea that has the fresh water drops from the sprinklers.




Lovely bleeding heart




A great park with so much to see!   
 
 
And what does all that morning fun give us....
