A trip to the Dallas Arboretum

Post by redcrx »

At the end of May I was in Dallas for a few days and got some hosta photos in the Dallas Arboretum. There seem to be 3 areas that have a large number of hosta. This Arboretum also has a HUGE number of Encore Azaleas planted throughout - I have put a lot in my garden also.

Here are some photos from what looks like a "Trial" that is situated roughly in the middle of the Arboretum. (The other two areas have lesser numbers of hosta and are more mixed in with ferns and other plant material - I think one area is called the Fern Grotto or something like that - it's near the main entrance - the other is toward the far end of the gardens in a small wooded area with a stream and small water-falls.)
