At the Arboretum – 7/10/24

Typical summer weather, hazy, hot and humid. When you visit be sure to keep to the shady spots, but do enjoy the pond in front of Matilda’s Cottage where a Nymphaea cv. Rose Arey (Water Lily) is blooming; you might even spot a frog or two! The garden slope in front of Matilda’s is a lovely collection of Artemisia, ornamental grasses, and other drought resistant plants. A Cotinus (Smoke Bush) by the Arboretum’s rear exit is covered in wispy, airy, smoky looking flowers.

Plan a visit soon, but remember to bring a bottle of water and wear a hat.

Thanks to Valerie Scarinci for the Water Lily photo and to Judy Snow for the Smoke Bush flowers and slope garden.
