Rhododendrons take center stage now as Azaleas begin to fade in the
Lopata Azalea and Rhododendron Garden.
Due to the mild winter temperatures, the Giant dogwood (Cornus
controversa) north of the Lehmann building, and the Princess trees
(Paulownia tomentosa) on the Knolls have never been finer in bloom.
Bleeding hearts, Blue-eyed Mary, and Celandine poppies are among the
many perennials and wildflowers blooming along with Dogwoods and
Azaleas in the English Woodland Garden.
Wood hyacinths and Camassia carpet the ground in the Mausoleum
Garden.
Kousa dogwoods and Fringetrees are just beginning to bloom in many
locations on the grounds.
It's peak blooming time in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Showy
Crimson bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus) and Wax flower
(Chamelaucium ciliatum) bloom on the upper level. On the California
wildflower slope, look for False indigo (Amorpha californica), a
Californian relative of our native Lead plant, accompanied by the
vibrant orange blossoms of California poppies (Eschscholzia
californica).
The sweet fragrance of Jasmine permeates the air in the Linnean
House. 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 very showy.
