| This one deserves to get bumped back up again so those not watching the Trees Forum won't miss it. Beautiful Photos! One could do a gallery of just tree bark...it's mesmerizing. I can understand why the little pink one is unquestionable your favorite. She must be quite a hiker too! Barbara |

| Wonderful selections! Had an opportunity to visit the Chicago Botanic Garden a few years ago - beautiful! It was one of the major highlights of our trip to the midwest. |
|
| She did awesome! We where there just over two hours, she seemed to enjoy herself a bit more this time around. Her favorite part was the fish in the ponds/streams. Bark is definitely something that isn't highlighted to the degree it should. Thanks, Barbara and RC! |

| What the nice pictures!!! And nice autumn colors! Acers are beautyfull.... And Ulmus parvifolia bark!!! Magic..... Lots of trees I have not seen ever:) Your nature is so rich in diversity! I've bought a book "Conifers Around the World" and now enjoying the diversity of American native conifers:) Thank you for the nice tour, Ireena. |

| Very nice tour, Will. I need to get down there some day. I've been to Morton, but not the Botanical Gardens. Thanks. tj |
|
| I actually need to make another trip to Morton. I missed all the conifers that Nate posted. You'll thoroughly enjoy it. They do such a great job with designing and intermixing shrubs, conifers and perennials. Ireena, same to you. Appreciate all the pics you've been posting lately. |

| Whaas, your right, that 'Beehive' isn't a cultivar of Picea omorika, it's a cultivar of Picea mariana found by Bob Fincham of Coenosium Gardens... |
|
| Thanks for the info, I'll get in touch with someone to have the label changed. |
