Autumn foliage remains at peak. The many stately, old Ginkgo trees
on the grounds are just starting to color.
Eastern Witchhazels are now blooming in several locations on the
grounds. Large specimens can be found in the Jenkins Daylily Garden,
on the berm just west of the Administration Building, and in both the
English Woodland and Japanese Gardens.
Roses in both the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are at the peak
of seasonal bloom.
Many different varieties of Pansies are being tested for winter
hardiness in the Lois Whiteside Franklin Flower Trial Garden at the
Kemper Center for Home Gardening.
As the blooms fade outside, the flowers come to life inside the
Shoenberg Temperate House. Snapdragons, begonias, cyclamen and
pansies decorate the walled Moorish Garden.
While most Camellias have no fragrance, be sure to smell the sweet
scent of the autumn-blooming Camellias (Camellia sasanqua) in the
Linnean House.
Fruits of many plants on the grounds are showy at this time.
Especially noteworthy are Crabapples, Hawthorns, American hollies, and
Tea viburnums.
Mist-flowers in the English Woodland Garden are showy.
Many late-flowering annuals in the Kresko Victorian Garden are still showy.
