Brookgreen Gardens, Part Four

Let's do a little armchair traveling, what do you say?  I feel like re-visiting Brookgreen Gardens to enjoy some more flowers and sculpture.  We were last there over Labor Day weekend last September.  I shared some of those photos Here.  We had previously only been to the gardens in early spring, and it was really nice to see them at the end of summer, since the flowers in bloom then were totally different than what we had seen in March.

This was the first time I'd ever seen Spanish Moss on Crepe Myrtle trees before.

The sun was really bright that day.

This gate was the entrance to a small, memorial garden.  It was lovely and peaceful.

This little garden was one of my favorite parts of the visit that day.

The multiple plantings of Caladiums were a-ma-zing.  I'd never seen anything like it.

The other end of the pool and another Diana statue.

I've shown this sculpture from the front in a previous post.  It's a young boy poking at a frog with a stick.  :)

I love Lacecap Hydrangeas.

Love this urn...

I didn't do a lot of "narrating" this time.  Sometimes it's more fun just to look at the pictures.  I wonder how many people it takes to keep these gardens so beautifully maintained?

We're over halfway through the work week now.  This has been a long one; I haven't gotten much sleep this week because it feels like we have a new baby in the house.  Mr. Forest Manor and I are hoping "baby" will sleep better tonight.  He's not too happy about going into his crate when we go to bed.

I haven't had a chance to reply back to everyone, but thanks so much for all your sweet comments on Duncan.  I've accidentally called him MacDuff a few times already, but I'll get it all sorted out soon.  Our sweet neighbors down the street even sent a card saying "Welcome to the neighborhood from Hershey."  Hershey is their chocolate brown Cocker Spaniel.  :)

Thank you for your visit -- I hope you have a good rest of the week.

Blessings,

Denise
