Sign telling you about the nearby Mount Nittany. |
The Overlook Pavilion where you can enter the Arboretum. |
This plant is known as Arnold Promise or Witch Hazel. Click on images to enlarge. |
Neat view of two people heading toward one of the water fountains. |
One of my favorite trees, the Paper Birch. This tree looked as if it was winking at me! |
Water Lily |
This plant is known as the Rattlesnake Master. |
This photograph was taken while looking into a kaleidoscope. The flower is a straw flower. |
The kaleidoscope that I used for the photograph above. |
Straw flowers. |
One of the many fruits that are grown in the gardens. This is the Gold Rush Apple. |
In person this looks exactly as it is named; Amaranthus Dreadlocks. |
The bees loved all the sunflowers in the gardens. |
This is the Limber Pine tree. |
The leaves of the Overlap Oak. Ever hear of this variety? I never did and I taught wood shop at one time. |
The Maidenhair Tree. |
This is the Bismarck Palm. |
The Fragrant Snowbell plant. It did have a sweet odor, to me. |
These two lovely flowers are Carol and Sue. |
Another bee favorite, the Shrub Rose. |
This plant, the Arkansas Blue-Star, is very soft to the touch. |
The Sago Palm. I have actually heard of the Sego Palm in the past. |
Who wouldn't love the Snowdrop Anemone? |
The pretty yellow flower with the most unusual name of Whorled Tickseed was a good way to end my photographic session at the Penn State University Arboretum. |
