Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

AT A GLANCE

June 29 - July 5, 2001

• Daylilies (Hemerocallis spp.) are at peak bloom in the Jenkins Daylily Garden.

• Summer bulbs are showy in the Intensive Gardens. Lilies (Lilium spp.) are past peak bloom, but many are still nice.

• Roses in the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are at the peak of seasonal bloom and very showy.

• Smell the rich aroma of gardenias in the Shoneberg Temperate House (Gardena augusta 'Mystery') 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.

• Colorful impatiens (Impatiens 'Showstopper Series') and the bold foliage of Rex begonias carpet the beds beneath the camellia trees. Double impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Fiesta Salmon Sunrise') and chenile (Acalypha pendula 'Firetails') are featured in the hanging baskets.
