Quarryhill Botanical Garden is an all Asian Botanic Garden in Glen Ellen in Sonoma county. All plants were grown from seed collected in Asian. The garden was started 1987 and now has many mature and established plants.
I had hoped to hit the peak of the flower bloom but discovered peak was a week earlier as this year’s weather patterns resulted in an early bloom. There are still many flowers in bloom and it was a bright overcast day so the light was excellent for flower photography. There were a number of species of dogwoods, columbines and roses in bloom.

Sandy, viewing your slide show it looks like you had perfect lighting for this type of photography. Truly some gorgeous captures throughout the program. Thank you for sharing the link to your work.
