OK, I went again today.

Here are only OUTDOOR plant pics from Daniel Stowe Botanical.

With temps in lower 60s now, stuff is exploding right and left!

I've a lot more close-up shots of plants in the Conservatory if you'd like me to post in another thread. I jsut don't want to steal thunder of others. Pics are just worth a thousand words (minimum).

Beautiful photos. Keep them coming. We are north of Charlotte, so our plants are a little behind. Are you near to DSBG? Nancy

Photos posted here of the conservatory were so beautiful, DH and I went last weekend. Wow. Lakewhy I missed the anemone or it wasn't quite there last Saturday, but the garden layout is fabulous and we will be back through the year. What a treasure to have this in the Carolinas.

Beautiful pictures thank you, great to see in winter. Love to see more pictures of blooms - the only one blooming for me here is hellebore.

Wish I lived closed to DSBG, it is about a 3 hour drive for me.

Nancy, I live in York County, SC so I drive by DSBG often on work routes, so I drop in when I have some time to kill late in day when weather's nice. I became a member, so I don't have to pay admission.

Joydvee-I nearly missed that anemone, it was right next to a hedge with no label, so I wonder if it was a leftover from last year since there were absolutely no other anemones even popping up out of ground near it.

I have to add, now you know how Charlotteans feel about driving to Raleigh. Blechk. Three hours to a congested triangle of interstates.
