The peak of spring bloom continues with Flowering dogwoods and Azaleas in full bloom throughout the grounds.
Tree peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa) are at peak bloom in the Grigg Nanjing Chinese Friendship Garden.
Kwanzan cherries (Prunus serulata 'Kwanzan') in the Japanese Garden are past peak bloom, but still showy.
Tulips are past peak bloom but still very showy. Woodland wildflowers are showy in the English Woodland Garden.
Large drifts of white and blue Spanish bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica) dot the understory in the Mausoleum Garden.
Dwarf bearded iris are beginning to bloom in the Goodmann Iris Garden.
The Princess trees (Paulownia tomentosa) are blooming in the Knolls.
The Shoenberg Temperate House is at its peak of spring bloom. The unusual and beautiful flowers of the carnivorous American pitcher plants (Sarracenia sp.) dangle above the bog. The California slope is ablaze with the bright colors of annual wildfflowers.
Give your nose a treat and visit the Linnean House! Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthemum) fills the house with its heady aroma. Also stop to smell the bright yellow blooms of the Canary Island broom (Genista canariensis). Double impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Fiesta Lavender Orchid') and jasmine are featured in the hanging baskets.
