Filoli Historic House and Garden 2.12.25

Enjoyed a stroll around the Filoli Historic House and Garden in Woodside, CA this morning. I love having this place nearby my son’s house and with an annual membership I can visit frequently. Hellebores stole the show today, along with Camellias blooming throughout the garden.

Many Helleborus species are planted in the woodland walk but also given a spotlight in some formal beds. They are some of my favorite perennials – with their early spring blooms and interesting habit.

Also blooming in the garden are some Daphne shrubs with variegated leaves.

While many of the magnolias are in bloom, their blossoms have suffered with the rain and cold, frosty weather. So, I did not take any photographs of the flowers as they were quite unsightly!

I did poke my head into the orangery – my favorite building on site. I want a building like this!! Is that too much to ask!? Ha!

The inside was decorated with potted bulbs and smelled wonderful!
