After our conference ended for the day, we piled onto a bus and headed to the gardens. We had about an hour and a half to explore the gardens. We couldn't have picked a better time to visit. Most of the bulbs were in full bloom, as were many of the flowering trees.
The star magnolias were just finishing their blooms, but the saucer magnolias were spectacular.
My favorite area was the Japanese Gardens. The weeping higan cherries were blooming all around the lake.
The area around the lake was very peaceful and relaxing. 
On the far side of the lake, the Yoshino Cherries were in full bloom. 
I'm not sure what this tree is but the bright pink blooms along the branches were quite unusual.

Yum!
After dinner, it was back to the hotel to catch up on some work.
