The red buckeyes (Aesculus pavia) continue to shine. |
The oak-leaf hydrangea bush (Hydrangea quercifolia) is producing many large white flowers. |

The delicate pink color of the Carolina rose (Rosa carolina) has unfortunately been washed out in this photo. Stop to smell the roses and see it for yourself. You won't be disappointed. |
