Southeastern Tour



























Wow, what a great time of year to go to Charleston, South Carolina ! There was still a chill in the air the week of St. Patrick's Day, yet lovely sites to see. Plants weren't the only pleasures of the trip, but I have included some shots of a few Spring window boxes from King St. in downtown Charleston, and some wonderful shots from Magnolia Plantation, one of the oldest gardens in the United States, located just outside of Charleston. Camellias, Magnolias, and beautiful Civil War era Live Oaks (Quercus virginiana) were some of the plantation highlights. If you get the chance to travel south this spring or summer, don't leave picturesque Charleston off of your list of places to visit!
