Festival of Camellias Formal Camellia Garden

We continue our Festival of Camellias with a tour of the Formal Camellia Garden at Massee Lane Gardens in Fort Valley, Georgia.

I was like a kid in a candy store exploring this garden.

I could scarcely move twelve inches before I had to stop and admire the beautify of another camellia shrub or flower. So let's take a look!

I love, love, love these brick pathways.

And the scent of this garden was the delightful fragrance of daphnes.

I couldn't believe all the variety of daphnes throughout this garden. Heavenly!

What a wonderful place to sit and ponder the meaning of life. Please stay tuned for more garden tour.
