Now that Spring has peeked out of its winter hiding places to give us many signs of the new season to come, I have availed myself of the near perfect weather of late to take long walks in our city’s famed historic district, finding many photo opportunities along the way.

Charleston must be heaven for botanists and students of architecture and history.

Absolutely is. Many famed botanists throughout history have come here.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Michaux
“In 1787, [Andre] Michaux established and maintained for a decade a botanical garden of 111 acres near what is now Aviation Avenue in North Charleston, South Carolina, from which he made many expeditions to various parts of North America.[7] Michaux described and named many North American species during this time. Between 1785 and 1791 he shipped ninety cases of plants and many seeds to France. At the same time he introduced many species to America from various parts of the world, including Camellia, tea-olive, and crepe myrtle.”
