Littlefield Garden quite a sight

An afternoon visit on a sunny May weekend to the trial garden at the University of Maine's Littlefield Garden yielded a trove of beautiful scenes.

You can check out a different beauty each day this week at The Daily Plant on GardenMaine.com where I try to find out interesting snippets of information on each plant featured.

Pictured above is the elegant 'Elizabeth' magnolia.

And on Wednesday, don't miss the weekly wild Maine plant, a collaboration of Garden Maine and Glenn Mittelhauser of the Maine Natural History Observatory.
