Slowly recovering from the rapture and absorbing drama of the Azalea in
full bloom, Bellingrath Gardens open Act III in their charming spring
dress. Various shades of green stand out in relief as young leaves take
the place of old. Ancient live oaks, water oaks, bays, magnolias,
cedars, pines, holly and dogwood take on new hues and assume their roles
in this show with magnificent beauty and splendor. Mountain Laurel and
the double-flowered white Spiraea brighten the stage with their delicate
blossoms. The colorful Hydrangea and the fragrant Gardenia do a
specialty act of their own that is one of the hits of the season.
