Redbuds and azaleas bloom up a winding hill to an outlook at Winterthur Gardens. |
These photos popped up on my computer's slide show the other day, and it was so refreshing to see some spring favorites again! (I truly have a weakness for spring.)
We visited
Winterthur (pronounced Winter-tour) in May for the first time. It is a beautiful garden for spring as its founder,
H.F. du Pont used a garden journal to plant his succession of blooms that starts in early spring. After walking past the beautiful
Quarry Garden with its hundreds of giant primroses, I found this hillside covered in our native redbud trees (
Ceris canadensis L.) and matching pink azaleas (Rhododendron).

You can just glimpse your resting spot at the top of the hill... |

Amazing how the color of the redbud and azalea flowers flow into one another. |
Hope you enjoyed a taste of spring in summer!
Be sure to see
Winterthur's Quarry Garden also, for a fresh start to your day. ;)
Stunning scenes, Julie! It's sad to think we won't see those bloomers until next spring. Redbud is my personal favorite tree.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth! It was a beautiful visit :)

Yes, Lizzy or Elinor or any of us Austen fans would love a brisk - even muddy - walk through that lovely scene. Or anyone who likes pink - beautiful redbuds!
