Yesterday, May 2nd was the first 2009 display of historic automobiles on the west lawn of the house. Five hardy owners brought their prized automobiles to the delight of garden guests. I had the chance to walk from the visitor center to the museum a few times, so snapped a few photos along the way.
The wisteria at the visitor center has been over-the-top this year; seemed to pop overnight with last weekend’s warmth. Near the stone underpass, ferns unfurl. In the peony garden, azaleas are in full bloom while ancient tree peonies begin the colorful sequence. The azaleas in Azalea Woods have turned the corner towards full bloom. I expect by the end of this week, there will be acres of bright pink, coral, white and red azaleas there. Don’t miss it!
