67 degrees cloudy, drizzly,
no tours signs because of
an error on the day of the
week. So no visitors except
a docent and her husband,
knowledgeable and
interested in all the
identifications and stories.
Smashing colors. My pick
for today’s most gorgeous:
Spigelia marilandica, in
masses that made it so
striking.

Magnolia Calyculus florida, Milkweed, Inkberry Ilex glabra, Winterberry,
Thimbleweed Anemone virginiana, White Beardtongue Penstemon tubiflorus,
Elderberry, Stiff Tickseed, Hydrangeas, Wild Quinine, Canada Anemone, Azalea, Flleabane, Barbara’s buttons (pink, by
water), Columbine, Wild Bleeding Heart, Iris, Juncus effusus, Plymouth Rose
