My wife and I traveled down to Asheville, North Carolina in 2010 to visit the Biltmore Estate.
I posted photographs of the main building in this post.
But there was so much there. They have a wonderful flower garden. We were there when a lot of the flowers had not yet bloomed yet I still got some wonderful photographs. They had some amazing orchids there.

These were all shot with a 50mm macro 2.5f lens.
