Spent a lovely afternoon with my mom at Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg, VA. Beautiful gardens and lots of interesting history about this lovely, historic home.
The link to this site is www.oatlands.org/.

Here are some pictures of the house.

Here is the sign that welcomes you to Oatlands.  Love the metal work.

 The garden had the most beautiful Irisis in so many colors.  Love the contrast between the purple flowers in the backround with the yellow iris in the photo below.

 Beautiful poppies.

 Entrance to the garden.

 Very interesting bench.
