The beautiful ornamental Pampas Grass going to see provides one of the last remaining floral displays at the pond in mid-Autumn.

Another shot from Sayen Gardens.

(From their website): Frederick Sayen was an avid gardener and world traveler. In 1912 he purchased a 30 acre parcel of land not far from the family rubber mill in Hamilton Square, NJ.

He built a bungalow style home and surrounded it with plants and flowers acquired while he traveled the world. His collection includes species from China, Japan and England, many of which are still flourishing today.
