Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom
AT A GLANCE
November 10 - November 16, 2000
-
Some fine autumn color remains in the Fragrant sumac by the Mausoleum
Garden. The Black gums in the Kemper Ornamental Shade Garden are coloring
nicely and the 'Henry's Garnet' Sweetspire in the Flower Borders is
brilliant shades of purple and reds. Maple foliage in the Japanese Garden
is becoming showy.
-
Seed heads of ornamental grasses are showy throughout the grounds.
-
The sweet aroma of the Fragrant olive trees (Osmanthus fragrans)
fills the Linnean House. The earliest Camellias are starting to bloom,
a hint of the show to come this winter.
-
The walled Moorish garden in the Shoenberg Temperate House features the
bright red leaves of Coleus (Solenostemon 'Oxblood) and the
unusual furry blossoms of Lion's ear from South Africa (Leonotis
leonurus).
-
Fruits of the Tea viburnums in the Daylilly and Chinese Gardens are very
showy.
-
It's not unusual to see some scattered blooms on individual shrubs at this
time of year in the Lopata Azalea and Rhododendron Garden as temperatures
and day lengths approximate conditions of the normal spring flowering
season. These shrubs will bloom again in spring, but any individual buds
that open and bloom now will not flower again.
