March Flowers At Mercer Arboretum -- A Great Inexpensive Afternoon For Your Family.  Admission is FREE.

bluebonnet

These are some of the few bluebonnets I have seen this year.  They are in front of the Arboretum entrance, right at the edge of the parking lot.

flowers

These great petunias are out front of the Arboretum entrance near the stop light.  They remind me of peppermint candy canes.

bench

Throughout the Arboretum they have these nice benches to sit on.  No splinters here -- its a composite.

rosemary

My current favorite herb is rosemary.  I always like to rub it with my fingers and then sniff the oils.  It is such a soothing natural smell.

flowers

These pinks (or some call them Sweet Williams) were in a raised bed near the entrance.  They add a nice splash of color.

tulip tree

This was a close up picture of the blooms from what I call a tulip tree.  I don't know the scientific name.

Liz, I love Mercer Arboretum.  We loved here for over 10 years before I figured out that it was free. It is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

You caught my favorite petunias. I love those striped ones. We used to have a lot of them in our yard, but since they are annuals we haven’t been able to replace them because the nurseries for some reason don’t carry many of them.
