Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom
AT A GLANCE
May 18 - May 24, 2001
-
Roses in the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are near peak bloom and very
showy.
-
Tall bearded Iris are past peak bloom in the Goodman Iris Garden, but many
are still showy.
-
Peonies are past peak bloom in the Japanese Garden, but some are still
showy.
-
Sweetspire (Itea virginica) and Oakleaf hydrangeas (Hydrangea
quercifolia) are beginning to bloom in many locations on the grounds.
-
Caper vines (Capparis spinosa) are blooming in the Shoenberg Temperate
House. The caper you eat is the bud of this beautiful flower. Also look for
the lovely lacecap hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Mariesii').
-
Smell the heavenly aroma of star jasmines (Trachelospermum jasminoides
and Trachelospermum mandianum) in the Linnean House. Double impatiens
(Impatiens walleriana 'Fiesta Salmon Sunrise') and Chenile (Acalypha
pendula 'Firetails') are featured in the hanging baskets.
