Like Spring :)

Mostly i could smell the Port Wine Magnolias...absolutely gorgeous. There is a scented garden for the visually impaired, oh man it is heaven!

Before lunch...most of the crowds were at the Wine & Cheese festival. And we snapped the pics between people where possible, gotta be careful in the day of sue-age :rolleyes2 , specially where kids maybe nearby. There were a lot of pics i wanted to get but the traffic volume was too high. I'll go again when the terrorist (tourists) have gone home *LOL*

Magnolias, damn shame they won't grow up here.

We have two types of magnolias here. We have the large traditional lemon-scented white ones with leathery leaves and the pretty pink Japanese variety which heralds in the spring with it's flowers long before the new leaf buds appear.

Ahhhhhh...Magnolia Blossoms...Yum!

Loved driving down to Fla. from Pa. and when we got to Georgia we started seeing/smelling the magnolia's.

Closest thing we have to your gardens Shar is a place called Longwood Gardens. Open year round but I haven't been there in years. You might have inspired me to make a day trip.

"Magnolia, you sweet thang, you're drivin' me mad,
Gotta get back to you, babe, you're the best I've ever had..."
