Autumn Carp River Gardens: Part Two

As promised, I am posting today the second half of some of the photos I took this week at the Carp River Botanical Gardens. The grounds are breathtaking, set in a valley of pines. The Master Gardener has set up three waterfalls and several flower beds which bloom continually from May to October.



Here is one of the lovely waterfalls you can see at the Gardens:


Loved this peach colored Dahlia!:




And, there isn't a Lily yet that I don't love:




Isn't this color the epitomy of Autumn?:




I have never seen this variety before..see the light pink outside and dark pink folded in the petals? It was amazing!:





Foxglove!: (Can't wait to plant the seeds I got from fellow blogger Tatyana to see if they come up in my garden next year!):






What a rose!:







More shots of his freckled lilies.... I took several of them!:






I just missed a bee in these!:







I thought of fireworks everytime I saw one of his two-toned dahlias!:






I had to end the post with this super closeup of the freckled lily!

Can you smell it???

It was heavenly!:


Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend everyone!!

Enjoy and savor one of the last wonderful weekends of summer

and

celebrate the beginning of Autumn!
