| Some over views of the Flower Garden, a couple of Dahlias, berries, berries, berries--including the pale pink marbelized berries of Smilacina racemosa, and a brilliant yellow Senna in the Conservatory. Continue. |

Over the vegetables and Cannas and on to the white Clematis at the end of the Flower Garden.
|
|
| The same shot as on the left, but with a telephoto lens, the white Clematis is suddenly much closer. | ||||
|
The view down one of the Flower Garden paths with the roof of the stable beyond the wall.
|
|
| One of the many Dahlias now blooming, this cultivar has white petals with light lavender edges. | ||||
|
The berries are now everywhere at Stonecrop. This Viburnum on the Himalayan Slope has bright orange berries--and below are five more plants with noteworthy berries this week.
|
|
| Another outstanding Dahlia with just a couple of rows of reddish orange flowers--and burgundy foliage. | ||||
|
The pale creamy yellow berries on this species in the Woodlands have a pink cast--and may be on their way to turning red.
|
|
| And this species of Viburnum has berries which range from pale green to pale pink and then to the color of Blueberries as they age. | ||||
|
Native to eastern North America, this is the only species of the genus native to the US. The white bell-like flowers are followed by the hanging dark blue berries seen here. A member of the Convallariaceae family
|
|
| Yet another plant with dark blue berries--the Blue Cohosh is one of only two species of the genus. Native to eastern North America and a member of the Berberidaceae family, its small yellow flowers are relatively insignificant. | ||||
|
And the last berries of this page--on a False Solomon's Seal--appear to be magically made of pink marble. A member of the Convallariaceae family native to North America.

|
| It's always worth a look in the Conservatory--today's visit was rewarded with a bright yellow Cassia. A member of the Caesalpiniaceae family native to Uruguay and Argentina. |
