on the first day of class, dr. dennis werner informed the students in his "gardening with herbaceous perennials" class that we'd have a semester long project that would be due during the last week of classes.
we had to take pictures of flowers every week for eleven weeks. seriously.
i was looking forward to this; i love taking pictures and i love plants. but let me tell you - it is a challenge to find things in bloom in early february. i managed to find a few, and it was worth it to watch new things pop up over the weeks. in fact, i ended up with so many pictures that it was kind of a pain in the butt to organize everything to turn in.
here, i've selected some favorites from the final project to share. most are from the j. c. raulston arboretum, but i did get the chance to visit the sarah p. duke gardens in durham and the north carolina botanical garden in chapel hill. they are both great local gardens that i'd recommend anyone to visit - multiple times!
Lovely. I want a few to frame!!!?
