An interesting rock arch.

Many flowers grow and bloom from out of the rocks! These are Rue Anemones.

Savage gardens has fantastic limestone rock formations. The north-facing slope and rich soil makes for a spectacular natural rock garden setting. Many of the boulders are covered with plants.

This rock had a large hole in it making an interesting frame for a beautiful cluster of Trout Lilies.

Trout Lilies thickly carpet this part of the trail in late March.

I didn't realize that this rock resembles a skull until I downloaded my pictures from the camera onto the computer!

I have never seen such a large number of Hepatica plants in one area! The gardens are loaded with many kinds of flowers, including: various Trillium, Shooting Stars, Phacelia, Spring Beauties (Virginia and Carolina), Hepatica, Wild Geranium, Little Brown Jugs, Wild Ginger, Trout Lilies, Smooth Rock Cress, Harbinger of Spring, Pennywort, Allegheny Spurge, Rue Anemone, Slender Toothwort, various Violets, and many more.

Another large rock arch.
