Dr. Seuss's Garden

 

Sometimes as I walk Kingwood, I stop in my tracks and think to myself, I have been transported to Dr. Seuss's Garden.  My last encounter was in the Greenhouse with the Sensitive Plant.  But again just yesterday in a walk from Kingwood Hall to my Jeep, I experienced it again in the Perennial Garden when I saw this seed pod. I pay close attention, because Dr. Seuss's Garden only shows itself for brief periods of time.

Here is a picture I took of the flowers last September.

 

 

 



A Winter meet Spring Encounter

Today it was a sticky snow day at Kingwood Center.  The gates are closed, but I was up at the house for a meeting, so I took the opportunity on the walk from the parking lot to the house to take a few pictures.  Kingwood in the snow is such a beautiful thing.
