AT THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUM

A day that started out cloudy became sunny in the afternoon. A small PJM Rhododendron is beginning to bloom along the four seasons path next to the parking lot; farther down the path, a Pieris japonica has burst into bloom and on the road coming up from Hanover Avenue a lovely, sweetly fragrant Loebner Magnolia's flowers were gently dancing in the breeze. Do plan a visit soon!
