MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

Flowering cherries are at peak bloom in the Japanese Garden.
Redbuds and Serviceberries are blooming in many locations on the grounds.
There's a great display of Daffodils, Tulips, and other spring bulbs throughout the grounds this week, but the bulb borders are especially showy.
It's peak blooming time in the Shoenberg Temperate House, especially in the Mediterranean section on the upper level. Look for the showy fragrant flowers of the California lilac (Ceonothus `Ray Hartmann'). Climbing white roses (Rosa bankiae `Alba Plena') and the yellow Wisteria-like blooms of the Golden-chain tree (Laburnum x wateri `Vossii') cascade over the walls of the Moorish Garden. The tiled fountain display features Easter lilies, Hydrangeas and deep blue Daisies (Cineraria sp.).
Large drifts of Daffodils can be found among the many perennials and wildflowers blooming in the English Woodland Garden.
The sweet fragrance of Jasmine permeates the air in the Linnean House. Camellias are past their peak, but a few are still showy. The fragrant yellow blossoms of the Canary Island broom (Genista canariensis) surround the fountain in the center.
Pansies in the Lois Whiteside Franklin Flower Trial Garden at the Kemper Center for Home Gardening are becoming very showy.
Tulips and Pansies in the large beds in the Milles Sculpture Garden make a showy combination.
