MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

Roses in both the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are at the peak of seasonal bloom.
Tropical waterlilies are blooming in the pools in the Milles Sculpture Garden. The fruity fragrance of the Victoria waterlilies perfumes the evening air.
Annuals throughout the grounds are at their peak of summer growth. The Elephant ear's (Colocasia spp.) in the Tropical Garden at the Kemper Center for Home Gardening have attained a most impressive stature.
The showy blossoms of Red spider lilies (Lycoris radiata) are poking their heads out of the windows of the Linnean House. New guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri 'Paradise Lavender Blue') and Kangaroo Ferns (Microsorium diversifolium) are featured in hanging baskets.
Figs are ripening high above the walled Moorish garden in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Look for the bright purple berries of the American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana).
