These candelabra primulas (Primula X bullesiana cvs., Zones 5-8) beside the lower pond in the Lerner Garden of the Five Senses at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens seem to capture the sun and illuminate everything around them with their glowing blooms.

Last week, assistant editor Kerry Ann Morre took a garden-themed tour of Maine with her trusty camera by her side. This week in the GPOD, we're featuring five photos from one of her favorite stops, the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. Enjoy!
