Fun Foliage of Mercer U



First, my favorite tree: the weeping willow. I know we didn't go over this one in the lab, but it is on Mercer's campus too. I promise!


Mexican petunia


Crepe myrtle

I wish I had a picture of my front yard for this one! We have a row of large crepe myrtles down by the road and they're quite beautiful, if I do say so myself. Perhaps their success is what gave my mother license to monitor the crepe myrtles in the yard of our church. She even accused some of the men who did the yard work, albeit jokingly, of crepe myrtle murder!



Dogwood!

My family also has a few of these around the yard back at the homestead in Alabama.


The apparently deadly angels trumpet...yikes!


Awesome elephant ear! 

I remember these being in the yard of my family's house in Paraguay. Good times.


Live oak. Magnificent. 

This is one of my favorite trees. I love how much character they have!


Howdy! It's a hickory!


Lovely larch.


Camellia. The state flower of Alabama!


Hydrangea

My sister-in-law used these in her bridesmaids bouquets and they were absolutely gorgeous!


This was probably my favorite lab. My parents are for some reason connoisseurs of landscaping and plants and such, so I had heard of many of this foliage before.
