Here are some photos from the Chattahoochee Nature Center in Marietta, Georgia US.

Fennel, sarrcenia, Jack in the pulpit and some kind of clustering tree flower.

Thank you for sharing these pictures, the plants look really nice! My favorite is the Fennel - it's so big and delicate at the same time. I haven't seen Jack in the pulpit before - it has such a funny name

Thank you Claudine. I've grown Jack in the Pulpit before, it's a beautiful plant. The "Jack in the Pulpit" I grew had three leave on top with a umbrella shape and a black tube shaped flower. They grow from small bulbs and are easy to grow. I really wish I knew how they got their name, I just might google to find out.

I live in Stone Mtn, GA.. I'll have to make it a point to check out the Chattahoochee Nature Center.. I've heard of it but really didn't pay a lot of attention to the advertisement. I'll be sure to take some pictures and post them as you did.. Very nice images, thanks for sharing.

Thank you, I want to checkout the Dunwoody nature center next. The Chattahoochee has done a lot of renovations and upgrades. I enjoy it a lot we have a family membership.

You should hear what its called in Somerset

You made me really curious so I did some research. Is it Cuckoopint? If I understand it correctly, it's a cute name

You're right its got lots of local names, Lords & Ladies, Arum Lilly, etc. But the Somerset one is a bit naughty.
