AT THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUM
Enjoy these wonderful photographs taken at the Arboretum by Judy Snow. Please note that the annuals at the Haggerty Education Center (HEC) entrance are made possible by a grant from the Friends of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum.
- Foreman Dylan planting the annuals bed in front of the HEC
- The delicate, strappy white flowers of fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus)
- A luscious raspberry colored Peony flower (Paeonia spp)
- Star shaped, pale blue flowers of the Eastern bluestar (Amsonia tabernaemontana) in front of the Pan herm
- The striking dark red, scented flowers of the Carolina allspice shrub (Calycanthus floridus)
- Two very different planters at the HEC entrance; don't you just love the variety of lettuces combined with pansies?
Make time to visit the Arboretum and see all these plants for yourself!
Thank you so much Judy for these beautiful shots.
