We were too early for the Greenville Museum of Art, so we headed to the
Pitt County Arboretum, in Greenville, NC.
 |
Pitt County Arboretum general view, where a
quarter-mile trail circles the entire tree collection |
 |
Pistacia chinensis/Chinese Pistachio;
it appeared many of the tree specimens
were pruned before being planted |
 |
This Quercus texana/Nuttall Oak
(native) has hips |
 |
Sparse Trachelospermum jasminoides/
Confederate Jasmine; must not be invasive here |
 |
Hammamelis x intermedia/
Hybrid Witchhazel flowers |
 |
Looks like a fairy circle around the Osmanthus fragans/
Fragrant Tea Olive; they are fallen flower petals |
 |
| Fragrant Tea Olive bloom |
 |
| Betula nigra/River Birch bark |
 |
| Camellia sasanqua/Sasanqua Camellia |
 |
| Carya illinoinensis/Pecan tree bark |
 |
Looks like a woodpecker has been here on the pecan tree,
specifically the Sphyrapicus varius/Yellow-bellied Sapsucker |
 |
| The tree is still producing pecans |
 |
| Abelia x grandiflora/Glossy Abelia flowers |
 |
| Acer griseum/Paperbark Maple |
 |
| Paperbark Maple bark |
 |
Master Gardener display; besides the arboretum, there
were gardens featuring wildflowers, perennials, and herbs |
 |
| That is one big rain barrel! |
 |
| Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert'/Anemone |
 |
| Symphyotrichum oblongfolium 'Fanny'/Aromatic Aster (native) |
 |
| Hibiscus sabdariffa/Red Tea Hibiscus |
 |
| Red Tea Hibiscus or Roselle seed pods |
 |
| Herb Garden |
 |
Kudos to North Carolina for having Early
Voting, including Curbside Voting for
those with handicaps |
