Hellebores, also known as "Lenten rose" are a favorite perennial of many. They are exceptional garden plants because they provide, long-lasting, early blooms in late winter to early spring. They are low-maintenance and drought-tolerant.

These Camellia blooms are casting soft colors of pink and white across the Garden. For the most enchanting views, wander toward the Friendship Pond, where their reflections dance on the water and petals cover the ground like floral snow. ๐ธโฒ๏ธ
