Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens VII

Monarch and Cone Flower
This is part 7 of a 12 part series.
The 70 remaining acres of Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens contains, six listed gardens, plus approximately 11 other designed areas and the Gothic style Corbin Conservatory. A screened tent conservatory had been set up next door to the conservatory for a butterfly display.Over the days ahead I will be posting some of the gorgeous flowers we encountered on the self guided part of our tour.
