Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom
AT A GLANCE
March 2 - March 8, 2001
-
The camellia trees are at their peak of bloom in the Linnean House.
Smell the sweet aroma of the Fragrant olive trees (Osmanthus fragrans).
Don't miss the rare Yellow camellia (Camellia chrysantha) blooming
near the east end of the north bed. Cyclamen and Fairy primrose (Primula
malacoides) brighten the beds beneath the camellias.
-
Leave winter behind, and enjoy a colorful spring two months early in the
Shoenberg Temperate House. The walled Moorish garden features the fragrant
blooms of hyacinths (Hyacinthus orientalis), bright yellow daffodils
(Narcissus 'King Alfred') and bright violet cyclamen (Cyclamen
'Sierra Purple').
-
Snowdrops (Galanthus spp.) and Crocus are now blooming in many
locations on the ground, and Winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) is
blooming in the English Woodland Garden. These are welcome signs of
seasonal change and remind us that winter will soon begin to loosen its grip.
-
Witchhazels are blooming in many locations on the grounds. The sweet
fragrance of their flowers is most noticeable on warm, sunny days.
-
The Orchid tree (Bauhinia x blakeana), Powderpuff tree
(Calliandra haematocephala) and the Glorybower vine (Clerodendrum
splendens) in the Climatron® are showy.
-
Pansy flowers will continue to be produced on a sporadic basis during
mild spells in winter and the well-established plants will resume heavy
bloom in the spring.
