I'm afraid she won't have these wonderful views that you've captured since spring is moving along so quickly.<br /><br />The Biltmore was one of the first formal gardens I ever visited. Still remember how everything was groomed up to the treelines. First time I saw pine needles used as mulch. Still a favorite.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-46889299798883818552012-04-12T15:13:51.225-05:002012-04-12T15:13:51.225-05:00I would LOVE to see that in person!

I love all the beautiful colorful flowers, trees, and bushes. You know, as long as I lived up around that area, I have never been to Biltmore. I really need to make the effort on my next visit. The Dwarf Fothergilla are quite a look! I have never seen those before. I wonder if they come in different colors? I love the last photo of you and George. You both look very sweet together.
