The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, on the outskirts of Philadelphia, is the official arboretum of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It covers 92 acres with winding paths, streams, and several special garden areas. These photos are from just two of those areas — the Rose Garden and the Pennock Flower Walk.
