Flowers at the U.S. National Arboretum Part 4

The last section we saw in the park included Dogwood trees (Pink, red and white)  near the Asian collection.  Beautiful!

 Some type of weeping willow tree?

I also wanted to share some gorgeous exceptional peonies from the Bonsai area in full bloom.

Spring is my favorite time of year.  Enjoy it while it is here!  I’d like to share some camelias and dogwood.

Some of you may know my 91-year-old mother recently passed away.  Being the passionate photographer that I am, I couldn't resist photographing the lovely flowers at her funeral luncheon in Pennsylvania.  Unfortunately, I can't send you the scent as well.  Mom loved purple, so there are more purple flowers than usual and purple always looks nice with a yellow background, its complimentary color.

The funeral was a lovely tribute to Mom, a sweet lady.

  Friends said the blue reminded them of the ocean Mom loved, and purple orchids for the color Mom loved.

Swans in Pennsylvania

We drove by a beautiful lake near sunset and saw some lovely swans and geese.
