A lovely entrance to the Arboretum.
Can you believe this wisteria vine??!! All of the posts at the conservatory were covered with these huge trunks! They reminded me of snakes.
Flowers on an unknown vine at the conservatory.
A beautiful Japanese Maple.
The air smelled wonderful. I think it was all the witch hazels.
The color you see on this path was all the different witch hazel trees.
Camellias were also blooming.
There were several clumps of this colorful cyclamen. The contrast with the orange bark was lovely.
After a fun lunch at the Pike Place Brewery, we were on our way home. It was so warm, we sat outside on the deck of the ferry, the end to a great day. Many thanks to our very sweet daughter who showed us all around by bus so we didn't need to take our car on the ferry.
I hope you are all having a great week-end!
What a wonderful day!
