Daylilies in the Jenkins Daylily Garden are at peak bloom.
Roses in both the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are in full bloom.
Bigleaf hydrangeas are flowering in several locations in the Kemper Center Gardens.
Annual bedding plants throughout the Garden are very showy. Particularly noteworthy are the beds in the Kresko Victorian, Milles Sculpture, and Swift Family Gardens.
Figs are ripening high above the walled Moorish Garden in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Look for the short-lived flowers of
the Caper vine (Capparis spinosa); the capers you buy are the flower buds of this beautiful plant. Fragrant jasmine (Jasminum
tortuosum) blankets one of the tiled walls of the Moorish Garden.
Impatiens are lush and colorful in the Linnean House. Flowering tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris 'Only the Lonely'), Flowering
maple (Abutilon 'Moonchimes') and Impatiens decorate the fountain.
