The flowers begin to show color in October and continue through late March.

Not only camellias show their beautiful faces here. Each season provides a new delight forrepparttar 134225 eyes with roses, flowering bulbs, day lilies and much more. Evenrepparttar 134226 path winding throughoutrepparttar 134227 gardens is unusual. Scattered randomly through it you will find ancient millstones gathered from middle Georgia. Also alongrepparttar 134228 path you spot granite mile stones fromrepparttar 134229 Old Wire Road witch ran from New Orleans to Washington, D. C.

Athens' restaurants are hard to beat both in number and in excellent cuisine. Harry Bissett's New Orleans Cafe and Oyster Bar, where you experiencerepparttar 134237 ambience as well asrepparttar 134238 authentic food of "The Big Easy". It's housed in an old bank building andrepparttar 134239 mellow brick walls are reminiscent of some ofrepparttar 134240 French Quarter's courtyard restaurants. The majority ofrepparttar 134241 food served here is spicy, for example The Blackened Redfish, gumbo and Crawfish Etoffee, but there are enough less heated dishes to suit any taste. Any festival that brings all of these culinary delights together makes me happy.
