Atlanta Botanical Gardens, part 3

I left my friends in the conservatory and made my way to the color sections, through several nice annual plantings, and some great color borders. Check out this island, with Joe Pye Weed, hibiscus, cannas and more






The Succulent Garden included this Century plant (Agave americana) which blooms 'once in a lifetime' according to the tag (I am not sure if that is once in its lifetime or once in ours?)

Lastly, we enjoyed the Canopy Walk, a raised walkway through an undeveloped area of hardwoods which leads to at trail of understory plants. Here is a Big Leaf Magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla);(you can see many of these and their cousin Magnolia tripetala, in our Tennesse woodlands, especially along the Fiery Gizzard Trails).
