Bellingrath Gardens is gorgeous any time of year but on our recent trip, we got to sample both the fall chrysanthemum extravaganza and the Christmas display (as they tested the lights). There were still quite a few roses in the Rotary Rose Garden. The rose below is called Dream Come True.
Mums were everywhere -- in borders, draped over the balconies of the Bellingrath home and
cascading fron the bridge over Mirror Lake.
We got to the Gardens early enough to see the mums in daylight then, as darkness fell, to enjoy the many lights. Scenes ranged from a Christmas living room scene
to an undersea fantasy.
These poinsettias were among my favorites.
Bellingrath Gardens is one of Alabama's true treasures!
