#Sumter, South Carolina is home to Swan Lake #Iris #Gardens.
Originally intended as a private fishing property, the abundant Japanese #iris #flowers, other flowers such as #daylilies, and public spirit, led Hamilton Bland to bequest the property to the city for use as a #public #park.

A view of some purple #iris #flowers and the pond that Hamilton Carr used as a private fishing #pond until he bequested the property to the city of #Sumter, South #Carolina to be maintained as a public #park; filled with irises and all eight species of swans.
Sumter now maintains the Swan Lake Iris #Gardens as a public attraction and beautiful #botanical #garden and a peaceful place.

A #Photograph of an #Iris #Flower at the Swan Lake Iris Gardens in #Sumter, #SouthCarolina.
#SwanLake #Gardens was formerly the private property of a wealthy resident, but was donated to the city to maintain as a public #park.
The #flowers are amazing, such as this incredible #JapaneseIris with #white #petals with #purple veins and smaller, central petals, as well as bits of #gold in the centers of the large petals.

A white #Iris at the Swan Lake Iris Gardens in #Sumter, #SouthCarolina.
Originally the private fishing property of Hamilton Carr Bland, a wealthy citizen, Bland purchased #JapaneseIris bulbs, which failed to thrive in his manicured garden. Angry, Bland ordered his gardeners to throw the bulbs in the #marsh, which exploded in #blooms the next year. Bland expanded the property and left it to the city of Sumter, which maintains it as a park for the public.

Originally the property of wealthy businessman and avid fisherman Hamilton Carr Bland, this is now the public Swan Lake Iris Gardens.
Bland originally hoped to spice up his property by planting exotic iris bulbs, however, none bloomed. Furious, he ordered the gardener to throw the expensive bulbs into the swamp.
The next year the swamp blossomed with dramatic Japanese iris flowers.
Bland also collected all seven species of swans, and eventually bequested the land, as well as more land gifted to him that was made part of the gardens, to the city of Sumter, South Carolina to keep up as a public park.
