Magnolia

Magnolia blossoms have been compared to some of the very first flowers...ever. Their reproductive structures have primitive features, such as multiple stamens and pistils on one receptacle. They have demonstrated similarities to some of the oldest fossil flowers discovered.

The First Day Of Spring

It's hard to believe that today is the first day of spring. School has been cancelled due to icy road conditions, and the temperature outside is very chilling.The only thing that lets you know that spring is actually here is the change in the angle of the sun as it shines through the windows.

No growth outside yet, but here are some tulips from last year, to brighten up your day.

Garden Path

Down the path, around the corner, up the hill...just love those meandering garden paths at Historic Gardens.You never know what you'll come upon next.
