The month of July means the arrival of High Summer, but also when wildflowers start their slow decline. Even though there is fewer wildflowers in July, there was still plenty. One special place I got to visit is the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville. I was there for the Carolina Mountain Club 100-Year Anniversary Celebration, allowing me to see a large assortment of flowers. Some might not be wild, but going there was special. Anyway, this blog is not about talking it's about pictures so enjoy there's from High Summer...
