Today we discover a garden inside the University.



It looks very beautiful inside.  The tall purple flowers are called allium Mt Everest.



This is the Iris Garden, with, as the name suggests, many varieties of irises.  Which one is your favorite?







Next we walk into the Italian Garden.  It's too early yet for the plants to bloom.







This peony is called Scarlett O'Hara, named after the character in the famous novel Gone With The Wind.



We see a lot of big leaved plants. This one has a funny name, Big Momma Hosta.





This one has a prettier name, Angelia Stonecrop.





Ah, Alpine Lady's Mantle.  What a romantic name!





Look! The maple leaves are all red.



Look there is a mandarin duck in the pond!



I don't know what this is called but it looks like miniature roses.



These are called Caramel Coral Bell and Blackout Coral Ball.  Curious names!





Now we enter the rock garden.







Hey are we in the English garden?



I have to say this is a pretty garden.







I am not very good at reading sun dial but my watch says it's time to go to class again!
