There were few clues to the last Mystery Photo, as Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. wrote: “The presence of the yellow tulips in the flower pot was a great clue! It immediately brought to mind that no single place in the USA has more tulips than Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, Georgia. My wife and I had always enjoyed visiting these gardens year-round when we lived in Peachtree Corners…and nothing came close to the beauty that spilled out in the spring when the tulips came into blossom. A little bit of more research confirmed that today’s mystery photo was in fact taken from the pool area near the Manor House at Gibbs Gardens.”
Jim Gibbs and his wife Sally still live at the Manor House and they spent over 30-years cultivating the gardens around their Manor House in Ball Ground, ultimately converting 336-acres of land into one of the largest residential estate gardens in the country today. The gardens are composed of 16 gardens including three feature gardens – Manor House Gardens, Japanese and Waterlily Gardens.” The photo came from Pam Brooks of Norcross.
First in with the correct answer was Kay Montgomery, Duluth, followed by Bo O’Kelley, Peachtree Corners; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Robert Foreman, Grayson; Hoyt Tuggle, Buford; Jean Harrivel, Duluth; Stewart Woodard, Lawrenceville; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Barbara Myers, Big Canoe.
