The North Carolina Arboretum (434 acres) is an arboretum and botanical garden located within the Bent Creek Experimental Forest of the Pisgah National Forest at 100 Frederick Law Olmsted Way, southwest of Asheville, North Carolina near the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is open daily except for Christmas Day. There is no admission charge, but some parking fees do apply.

 

Although the idea for the arboretum stretches back to landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted in 1898, who wished to create an arboretum at the nearby Biltmore Estate, today's arboretum was established by the General Assembly relatively recently, in 1986, as a facility of the University of North Carolina. In 1989 the site was officially designated the North Carolina Arboretum.

 

The arboretum is still under active development. It includes many hiking and bicycling trails, a bonsai collection, a holly garden, a stream garden, etc., as described below. Its tree collection includes a fine set of Metasequoias planted in 1950, and now said to be the tallest in the south (over 100 feet (30 m) in height).

LØVETANNEN av Inger Hagerup

 

Der står en liten løvetann

blant andre løvetenner

i bakken på et åkerland

og blomstrer så den brenner.

 

Den har slått ut sitt gule hår

på toppen av seg selv.

For av en bustet knopp i går

er det blitt blomst i kveld.

 

Nå er den sterk og stri og vill,

en riktig løvetann,

og strekker kry sin lille ild

mot solens kjempebrann.

 

Hvor stolt og gladelig den gror!

Men like nedenfor

står en sørgmodig eldre bror

og feller hvite hår.

 

Slik, venner, farer livet med

all verdens løvetenner.

Først blir de ild, så blir de sne,

og siden gamle menner.

På dagens gåtur faldt jeg over denne blomst, som stod nok så flot på skrænten ved en af stierne her i området, en sidste rest af sommerens blomsterflor I år.

 

On today's walk, I fell over this flower, which was probably looking pretty on the slope by one of the trails here in the area, a last remnant of the summer flower bloom this year.

Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feedback very much
