The "Wow" Factor

Well, the flowering cherry trees and the Rhodies are probably the reason people love the Arboretum. 
They have great "wow" factors. 

 The old Rhodies are tall and impressive with their dancing tree like limbs.  One year we saw a small owl camouflaged in this habitat.















We weren't the only ones with our camera out.

The Cherries light up the hillside. 

The trees are loaded with lots of bloom.

The blooms are often shades of pink or purple, but they flowers come in many colors and sizes.

The leaves of some of the rhodies hide some special interest on the underneath side.
