Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom
AT A GLANCE
DECEMBER 5 - DECEMBER 11, 1997
-
As the blooms fade outside, the flowers come to life inside the
Shoenberg Temperate House. Snapdragons, Cyclamen and Jasmine decorate
the walled Moorish Garden.
-
Poinsettias, Cyclamen and early-blooming Camellias decorate the
Linnean House, accompanied by the sweet scent of the Fragrant olive
trees (Osmanthus fragrans).
-
Eastern witchhazels are blooming in several locations on the
grounds. Large specimens can be found in the Jenkins Daylily Garden,
on the berm just west of the Shoenberg Administration Building, and in both the
English Woodland and Japanese Gardens.
-
Fruits of many plants on the grounds are showy at this time.
Especially noteworthy are Crabapples, Hawthorns, and American hollies.
-
Many different varieties of Pansies are being tested for winter
hardiness in the Lois Whiteside Franklin Flower Trial Garden at the
Center for Home Gardening.
