Sea Dragon in the pond at the Arboretum

I went to the Arboretum today with pictures and a cutting from one of my crepe myrtles that is sickly.  Doesn't appear to be anything serious so we will cut things back and watch and wait.

While at the Arboretum I walked around their gardens and took some photos.  Peach drift rose.  This iris was in the oriental water garden.  Lots of these beauties but I liked this shot best.  This is a Wilson Dogwood.  

Here's a hummingbird coming into get a drink and then getting that drink.

My rosebud opening and Mini-me watching me, watching the hummingbird feeder!
