AT THE ARBORETUMJune is here, the traditional month for weddings and bridal bouquets. Even though all brides don't choose all white flowers for their bouquets, some of the blossoms to be seen at the Arboretum would certainly make lovely ones. For example, Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snowflake' (Oakleaf Hydrangea) and the appropriately named, feather-like flowers of Astilbe 'Bridal Veil' (False Goatsbeard) would make a stunning combination; also the beautiful flowers of Stewartia pseudocamellia would provide an eye-catching focal point in any bouquet. For a totally different look, how about adding a deep red Calycanthus raulstonii 'Hartlage Wine' (Raulston's Allspice or Sweetshrub) to the mix? Make time for a visit soon, there is so much to see and enjoy!
