Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom
AT A GLANCE
January 4 - January 10, 2002
-
Pansies and Violas flower until severe cold arrives. Additional flowering
occurs sporadically during mild winter spells. Well-rooted plants willl
begin to grow and flower heavily again with the arrival of spring.
-
The fragrant Vernal or Ozark Witchhazel (Hamamelis vernalis) blooms on
warm, sunny days in the Jenkins Daylily Garden.
-
Fruits of the Winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata) are very showy.
Especially noteworthy is the clump (I. verticillata 'Afterglow')
by the statue of Henry Shaw by Tower Grove House, and the hedges (I.
verticillata 'Red Sprite') in the Kemper Bird Garden.
-
Come out of the cold and enjoy the blooms of the Shoenberg Temperate House:
roses, snapdragons and cyclamen adorn the tiled Moorish Garden. The fuzzy
yellow blossoms of the Cootamundra wattle (Acacia baileyana) are just
beginning to emerge.
-
The camellias are beginning their winter show in the Linnean House,
building toward peak bloom in mid to late February. Cyclamen
(Cyclamen 'Halios Series') brighten the beds beneath the camellia
trees. The sweet aroma of the Fragrant olive trees (Osmanthus
fragrans) wafts throughout the house. Camellias are featured in the
hanging baskets.
