Morning Eye Candy: To Talk of Many Things

”The time has come,” the Walrus said,
”To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”

Lewis Carroll – The Walrus and the Carpenter

Nope, it’s not dinosaur skin. It’s a leaf from one of the huge, gorgeous Hydrangea quercifolia in the amazing four-season Perennial Garden.

Ginkgoes get a bad rap. Sure, they can be a bit smelly from time to time, but their beauty in autumn should make up for that, shouldn’t it?

Morning Eye Candy: The Azalea Garden in Yellow

Posted in Photography on November 21 2010, by Plant Talk

It’s an Azalea Garden of another color: Yellow. No, we’re not genetically engineering plants here at the Garden, we’re just planting for year round color. This new garden won’t open to the public until next Spring, but we’re hoping this beautiful image will entice you to come visit the Azalea Garden both when it opens and a year from now!
