Take a Walk in the Park Day 3.30.23
The Ts: Today the hyoomans went for a walk in the park to Airlie Gardens in Wilmington, NC.
Mom Brenda:
The gardens have a spectacular display of Azaleas. It was a little late for them but there were still many in bloom. Today was sunny and about 65 degrees F and really nice for a walk. It only takes a couple of hours to walk through the park even when stopping to take a lot of photos. The plants are not marked here like in other gardens so we do not know what variety or cultivar they are. We are starting to choose and plant some additional flowers and shrubs at our new house and wanted to get some ideas, along with some exercise. The gardens smelled so earthy and good. It was a beautiful afternoon.
Here are a few to enjoy:
 |
| Loved these beautiful deep pink Azalea. |
 |
| This is the Live Oak tree that is over 400 years old. Truly majestic. |
 |
| Azalea - loved these bright salmon/pink ones. My favorites. |

Tomorrow we may go for a walk in our own community. There is a park here as well and the Azaleas are in full bloom.

There are a lot of pretty flowers. Do you live near Wilmington? We lived in Myrtle Beach for 16 months between 2009 and 2010. That is where we adopted Chris. Anyway, we spent a day in Wilmington and I thought it was a very nice place to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these beautiful photos. All we have so far are daffodils.
ReplyDeleteThe azaleas are beautiful. Mine won't come into bud for another month or so, but we did have a solitary brave flower in the winter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Mom misses the Spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe man who rubs my belly just spent a week down at Richlands NC and came home to make Lynn jealous with all the flowering he saw. We go next to Nothing up here still. Precious
