Description:

While it's true that there is always something in bloom at Hendricks Park, this time of year the gardens look positively tropical. There are so many colors of rhodies and perhaps some magcificent magnolias. We'll meander, so feel free to bring your camera. At this moment (4/27) there is a HUGE dogwood in bloom that looks like a snow-covered mountain.

I'll be having lunch at the shelter at 12:00 if anyone wants to join me.

The forest and its wildflowers beckon if anyone wants to add some milage at the end of the walk.

Trip Report

Really lovely stroll through the gardens - so much in bloom. We closely examined and counted the stamens in both azaleas and rhododendrons to learn the difference between the two. We notetd that the "freckles" of color are always on the top of the blossom and they provide a roadmap for the visiting pollinators.

We had two first timers in the group and one member of over 20 years!
