This is from a post that ran in June of 2011, featuring pictures I took on Father's Day (mid June) at the Cutler Botanic Gardens in Binghamton, NY.
Enjoy!
First, a lovely Cornus kousa, or Korean Dogwood. They have become pretty popular around here. They bloom over a month after the "regular" dogwoods bloom.
Next, a Fragrant Mock Orange or Philadelphus coronarius. If only I had Blog-O-Smell so you could catch the sweet scent of this shrub.
Next, one of the perennial displays. The plant in the back (which is blurry) was a total mystery to me, and I could not find a tag. Of course.
Another display, including a nice stand of lillies.
And finally, a view of their rock garden.
I thought I had taken pictures of their Heirloom Rose Garden, but when I went to download my pictures I only found one picture. I have see if I can go back and take some more. I think I was too busy smelling the flowers to take pictures. The day lilies, by now, should be blooming nice-they were just starting on Sunday.
I'll take the rose picture, in the meantime, and combine it with a rose feature I want to do in the near future.
Please, if you are in the area of southern NY on I-81, stop by this small gem of the Southern Tier. It is free, and it will be worth your time.
