AT A GLANCE
NOVEMBER 19 - NOVEMBER 25, 1999

Autumn leaves are well past peak, with mostly only subdued color tones on
the remaining foliage.
-
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 many hollies throughout the grounds are 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.
