There are a few excellent gardens on Mount Desert Island, Maine:
Thuya Lodge
Joe Pye Weed, as tall as a person
A perfect, psychedelic dahlia
Lazy butterfly
The garden outside the wine and cheese shop in Southwest Harbor
Flowers on the porch at the Claremont Hotel
Asticou Azalea Garden in Northeast Harbor
The first autumn leaves are already falling at Asticou
