Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

I recently went with my supervisor to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum for a wedding. I had never been there, so it was a great opportunity to wander around (for free!). Check out some of the late spring sights.


Interesting hut thing...I didn't read the sign so I have no idea what the story is here, but it's fascinating.




Various shades of purple with a great mixture of textures.




A few of the many, many varieties of peonies. I love peonies, and I have never seen so many variations, like this two-tone pink.




Japanese maple. It was the most amazing flame-red in the sun.




Large yellow lady slippers.




One of the lovely fountains.




And another fountain. This was the site of the wedding. It was a lovely spot for a small gathering.




It would be fun to visit the arboretum again during the other seasons to see all the different flowers in bloom!
