Mercer Gardens lost some trees to Hurricane Ike but, as far as I could tell, they came through relatively unscathed. There are things in bloom, camellias, azaleas, etc. but mostly it's the offseason. Found a few things here and there.
More later. I was about to give it up and call the trip a bust when, as usual, things just started 'appearing'. Thanks for looking, comments most welcome.
@Gary-you should see the second one without those two stems in background...Phil(Goldenorfe) cloned them out and sent my a look; really dresses up the comp.
