Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom
AT A GLANCE
March 29 - April 4, 2002
-
Weeping flowering cherries (Prunus x subhirtella 'Pendula') in the Japanese
Garden are starting to bloom. Peak bloom should begin by mid to late week.
Flowering plums in the Plum Arbor are now showy.
-
Daffodils are flowering in many locations on the grounds. Hyacinths and early
tulips are just beginning to bloom.
-
Redbuds (Cercis canadensis) and White redbuds (Cercis canadensis
'Alba') will be in bloom before weeks end.
-
The large swath of Forsythia in the Knolls is in full bloom.
-
Large drifts of Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa luciliae) and Squill
(Scilla siberica) dot the understory in the Mausoleum Garden.
-
The Shoenberg Temperate House is filled with the colors of spring. The tiled
Moorish garden features Easter lilies (Lilium longiflorum), daffodils
(Narcissus 'Marieke'), hyacinths (Hyacinthus orientalis 'Blue Jacket')
and tulips (Tulipa 'Stability'). The mediterranean redbud (Cersis
siliquastrum) is in full bloom upstairs, accompanied by a carpet of cyclamen
(Cyclamen persicum).
-
The camellias in the Linnean House are past their peak, but are still quite showy.
Cheerful cyclamen (Cyclamen 'Halios Series') and fairy primrose (Primula
malacoides) illuminate the beds beneath the camellia trees and the heady aroma
of jasmine (Jasminum polyanthemum) and the fragrant olive trees (Osmanthus
fragrans) wafts throughout the house.
-
Pansies and Violas are flowering again with renewed vigor.
