Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

AT A GLANCE

July 28, 2000 - August 03, 2000

• Roses in both the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are at the peak of seasonal bloom.

• Some Daylilies in the Jenkins Daylily Garden are still nice.

• Tropical waterlilies are blooming in the pools in the Milles Sculpture Garden.

• The Shoenberg Temperate House features the showy flowers of the Caper vine (Capparis spinosa). The caper you eat is the bud of this flower. Figs are ripening high above the walled Moorish garden.

• The large, colorful foliage of Rex begonias and bright flowers of Impatiens (Impatiens 'Tempo Series') fill the beds below the winter-blooming camellia trees in the Linnean House. New guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri 'Paradise Lavender Blue') and Kangaroo Ferns (Microsorium diversifolium) are featured in hanging baskets.
