More From Yesterday's Hour at the Arboretum


Trying to photographically explore a place like the Raulston Arboretum in an hour is a bit like attempting to "see" a major art museum in a day. A lot will inevitably be missed. Still, if you limit your goals instead of trying to  cram in too much, there's  value in the experience.

Yesterday I posted just two photos that were part of my whirlwind tour that afternoon. Here are a few more.

Zephyranthes drummondii, giant prairie lily:

This next is some kind of hybrid Viburnum. I also cropped the photo to make a different image, the one that leads this article.


Primula sieboldii, "Drag Queen":


And finally, Cercis canadensis, "Floating Clouds", variegated eastern redbud:

    1. It's worth repeat visits. I hope I have more chances on days with favorable weather.
