MBG Plants in Bloom: at a Glance

Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

Summer bulbs are very showy in the Intensive Gardens. Lilies (Lilium spp.) are outstanding this week.
Daylilies (Hemerocallis spp.) are near peak bloom and very showy in the Jenkins Daylily Garden.
Bottlebrush buckeyes (Aesculus parviflora) in the Knolls are past peak but, but still nice.
Roses in the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are at the peak of seasonal bloom and very showy.
Oakleaf hydrangeas (Hydrangea quercifolia) are blooming in many locations on the grounds.
Smell the rich aroma of gardenias in the Shoneberg Temperate House (Gardena augusta 'Mystery' and Gardena cornuta.) Look for the lovely flowers of the caper vines (Capparis spinosa); the caper you eat is the bud of this flower. Figs (Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey) are ripening high above the Moorish garden.
The miniature gardenia (Gardena augusta 'Radicans') is blooming in the Linnean House. Double impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Fiesta Salmon Sunrise') and Chenile (Acalypha pendula 'Firetails') are featured in the hanging baskets.
