Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom
AT A GLANCE
MARCH 17, 2000 - MARCH 23, 2000
-
Flowering cherries are becoming quite showy in the Japanese Garden.
-
Redbuds are beginning to bloom throughout the grounds.
-
Magnolias have suffered some frost injury, but many trees are still quite
showy.
-
Daffodils, early tulips, and an assortment of spring bulbs are
especially showy in the Samuels and Heckman Bulb Gardens.
-
The camellias are still showy in the Linnean House, accompanied by the
rich scent of jasmine (Jasminum polyanthemum) and Fragrant olive
trees (Osmanthus fragrans) . Colorful cyclamen and Fairy
primroses (Primula malacoides) decorate the beds below the
camellia trees.
-
Color and fragrance fill the Shoenberg Temperate House. Masses of
flowering Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum) blanket the upstairs portion of
the house, beneath the showy blossoms of a Redbud (Cercis sp.).
Look for the unusual pocketbook-shaped flowers of Calceolaria, a
cool-season annual from Chile, and many brightly colored bulbs from
South Africa.
-
Winter hazels (Corylopsis spp.), Hellebores (Helleborus
spp.), Daffodils (Narcissus spp.) and other spring bulbs are blooming
in many locations on the grounds.
