Crystal Springs started as a test garden for rhododendrons, azaleas and other plants in 1950. The garden contains more than 2700 different species of plants.
The candelabra primroses form a flowering cover under the trees.
Children love to feed the ducks.

Paula! Your sketchbook flowers are gorgeous! What a great place to sketch too.
Thanks, Liesel. It's wonderful to have a group of friends to visit different venues and sketch every week.
What luscious flowers and I love your sketches of what you saw that day. I envy people who can sketch, you are lucky.
Hi Paula,
Those are lovely gardens, and I like your sketches... I'm planning to get out and do some plein air this summer with one of the painter groups I'm in, it's so relaxing to do.
Thanks, Delorse. Do you work in watercolors or acrylics with your plein air painting? You'll enjoy the relaxation and being outdoors.
So inspirational...take tons of flower photos but never thought about using them to pratice sketching. Thanks!
