Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

AT A GLANCE

September 7 - September 13, 2001

• Tropical water lilies are in full bloom in the Milles Sculpture Garden.

• Tardiva hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata 'Tardiva') are blooming in many locations throughout the grounds.

• Summer bulbs are showy in the Intensive Gardens. Colorful foliage of unusual caladiums (Caladium sp.) and elephant ears (Alocasia sp., Colocasia sp., Xanthosoma sp.) add to the floral display.

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

• Figs (Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey) are ripening high above the Moorish garden in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Deep red coleus (Solenostemon scuttelariodes 'Oxblood') surrounds the tiled fountain, and fragrant jasmine (Jasminum tortuosum) cascades over the wall.

• The showy blossoms of Red spider lilies (Lycoris radiata) are peeking out the windows of the Linnean House. Double impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Fiesta Salmon Sunrise') are featured in the hanging baskets.
