Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom
AT A GLANCE
NOVEMBER 12 - NOVEMBER 18, 1999
-
Autumn foliage is well past peak, but some leaf color remains vivid,
especially among the Japanese maples in Seiwa-En.
-
Flower and seed heads of Ornamental grasses throughout the grounds are
showy.
-
Eastern witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is blooming in several
locations on the grounds. Large specimens can be seen in the Jenkins Daylily
Garden, the Japanese Garden, and on the berm just west of the Administration
Building.
-
Roses are beginning to be winterized, but some are still flowering in the
Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens collections.
-
Fruits of the Tea viburnums (Viburnum setigerum) in the Jenkins
Daylily and Chinese Gardens are very showy. Fruits of the many hollies
throughout the grounds are also quite showy.
-
The sweet aroma of yellow roses (Rosa 'Sunsprite') and Jasmine (Jasminum
tortuosum) wafts through the Moorish Garden in the Shoenberg Temperate
House.
-
Fragrant olive trees (Osmanthus fragrans) fill the Linnean House with
their rich scent. A few early camellias are blooming, giving a hint of the
color that will brighten the house this winter. Camellia sinensis, the
commercial source of tea, is in bloom.
