Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

AT A GLANCE

November 2 - November 8, 2001

• Autumn foliage is colorful throughout the grounds.

• Many roses in the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are still showy.

• The rich colors of autumn paint the walled Moorish garden in the Shoenberg Temperate House. The fuzzy orange flowers of Lion's ear (Leonotis leonurus) are complemented by deep red coleus (Solenostemon scuttelariodes 'Oxblood').

• The earliest of the camellias are blooming in the Linnean House, giving a hint of the glory to come this winter. They are accompanied by the sweet aroma of the Fragrant olive trees (Osmanthus fragrans). Double impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Fiesta Salmon Sunrise') and camellias (Camellia sasanqua 'Bonanza' and 'Sho-no-sakie') are featured in the hanging baskets.
