Dallas Arboretum Flowers

May 15, 2019 / Karen / 0 Comments

As promised, here are a few (a very few!) select flower photographs from my May 4^th visit to the Dallas Arboretum.

bromeliad dallas arboretum — Bromeliad growing in the rocks on the sides of a waterfall.

yellow water lilies — Water lilies in one of the many pools of water.

red and pink columbine dallas arboretum — Columbine growing in one of the shady glens.

iris dallas arboretum — Iris in the same shady glen.

pink yarrow dallas arboretum — Pink yarrow growing in the pollinator garden in the Children’s Area.

I loved all the different colors of yarrow in the children’s area and the pollinators did too!

Now that I have a membership to the Dallas Arboretum, I plan to go more often!

Kinetic Art Video

I really liked the kinetic art of Lyman Whitaker at the Dallas Arboretum. Here’s one short video I took:

I have a couple of kinetic pieces in my gardens – way smaller than these – and I plan to acquire more over time.
