The Dogwood Collection

The day was so beautiful that after leaving the Conifer Collections at the National Arboretum Romeo and I visited the Dogwood Collection.  There is a lovely circle garden near the entrance with a range of seasonal perennials and roses.  Leading down a slope from there at a good distance is a fountain.  There are benches located around the edges.  It's one of my favorite places for picnics.

We completed this part of our visit by tracing the clusters of trees along the road edge of the collection.  This included a little pond at the spot were a stand of bald cypress were growing.  Across the way there were even some amazingly old River Birch, a personal favorite of mine.

Entering back into the collection, we explored the heart of it.  So many different conifers, but also Japanese maples and crepe myrtles.
