Betsy and I paid another visit to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, last week. We went specifically to see the tulips in the Walled Garden. George Vanderbilt wanted the Walled Garden to be a ‘garden of ornament’, so the garden consists of symmetrical flower beds arranged in patterns. The picture above shows one side of the Walled Garden as seen from a hill overlooking the garden.

There were tulips of many different colors planted in the flower beds.

Even the border flower beds along the road contained beautiful tulips.

But the prettiest flower in the entire garden was my beautiful bride.

Hi George
Lovely photos, but what erks me is that I stayed in Asheville, NC and never saw these gardens.
Well I guess as a tourist, you can’t win them all????
Love the “yellow mellow” T-shirt combinations!
Cheers

We were there last week too. In fact, we planned to go on Tuesday but had a change in plans and went on Thursday instead. No doubt we will one day run into you and Betsy.

Absolutely beautiful. Too bad tulips didn’t bloom all spring and summer too.

If and when I visit the Biltmore Estate, I’ll probably see all those lovely flowers but not the prettiest one – you’ll take that flower home with you for certain.
