In relating the day to my wife , she just couldn't understand the excitement over Gibb's claim to fame of hillsides covered in over two million dandelions . Said her sinuses would have killed her . Dandelions , daffodils , what the hell . They are both flowers , right ?
Now that we have straightened out the names , there were more varieties of the dang flowers than I had ever seen .
According to our tour guide deer wont eat daffodils . Aaaanndddd , he had personally counted every one of the two million plants . Lucky for him they weren't dandelions .
Not real sure what these plants are but I thought they were pretty .
I believe these are paper bushes .
It was hard to catch the tunnel effect of the river birches .
There were still a lot of things that had yet to bloom . In a few weeks the roses and the azaleas should be breathtaking . Definitely worth a return trip . While Gibb's was definitely a great ramble , doing it with two of my brothers and their wives made it even more special . Hopefully we will be doing it again soon .
Those look more like big crape myrtle. I haven't made it out to Gibb but I hear it's amazing the amount of plants he has acquired.
