Sumter's Iris Festival this weekend (Memorial Day Weekend)

Seabrook, SC(Zone 8b)

Sumter's Swan Lake-Iris Gardens is a lovely park. The entire lake is surrounded by cypress and the knees ring the lake giving it a very prehistoric look.

I've attached several pictures from our visit yesterday.

I was fascinated by the cypress knees. I've never seen quite so many happy cypress trees together.

I expected a pterodactyl to fly through at any moment...
