The Glades, A Woodland Garden

Kathy and I enjoyed a stroll through these 5 acres of 1600 mature rhododendrons and companion plants.

                    There are several water features with 4 ponds and 2 waterfalls.

                      This one has Hebe, the Goddess of Youth, pale white in the shrubs.

                          There are waterlilies in bloom and a lonely duckling ( one of twelve) sunning beside the Reflection Pond.in the front lawn. Her mother was in the main large pond created by the original owners.

We passed the Rhododendron Rex, the dinosaur of the species with leaves up to a foot and a half in length.

Then we saw this one which we had never seen before. It has tiny individual flowers with a surprise of the bell shaped one in the middle. 

New to us.
