The Vanderbilt Estate

This is one of the gardens I visited while in North Carolina. Most people probably think of the Vanderbilt Estate as a mansion. Of course, it is that. But the gardens there are absolutely fabulous. Not only can you view many species of plants but they add a little fun with their whimsy in the garden. I couldn't get over this pink flamingo! I thought of my friend Cheryl when I took this picture. She loves pink flamingos! Check out the set of photos below to see the flamingo.
