Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

We attended a wedding reception at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum this week.

What a lovely place for the special event. It was held outside in one of the picnic shelters with beautiful scenery all around. We were also invited to come early and enjoy the September gardens in bloom at the arboretum.

There was much color, everywhere. There were vibrant, annual gardens, as well as rich, colorful dahlias.

I was surprised to see many showy, rose bushes still in full bloom. I stopped to smell them!

It’s always fun to see a few, unusual plants in bloom. 

Identification sign reads: Amaranthus caudatus ‘Pony Tails’
Love-Lies-Bleeding
Angel’s Trumpets

It was a wonderful afternoon, celebrating two lives joined together in marriage, and celebrating Minnesota’s finest blossoms and the upcoming fall season.
