Morning Eye Candy: Smitten

Posted in Photography on August 1 2014, by Matt Newman

‘Mystic Illusion’ makes its grand appearance in the Perennial Garden. It’s part of a series of simple and stunning dahlia cultivars that include ‘Mystic Dreamer’, ‘Mystic Spirit’, ‘Mystic Memories’, etc. I’m still smitten with this one in particular, though—likely always will be.

Morning Eye Candy: Summer Nights

Posted in Photography on July 11 2014, by Lansing Moore

Who knew such a sunny flower would go by the name ‘Summer Nights’? But that’s exactly the name of this variety of ox-eye, seen here looking you right in the eye. How will you be spending these lovely summer nights? Tickets are going fast for our next Jazz Age Evening here at the Garden.
