Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

AT A GLANCE

August 30 - September 5, 2002

• The Hardshelled gourds (Lagenaria siceraria) hanging from the Grape Arbor in the Kemper Center for Home Gardening are a sight to see!

• Showy Tropical water lilies are blooming in the Milles Sculpture Garden pools. Many unusual aquatic plants are on display in the pools in the Swift Family Garden.

• Roses in the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are in full seasonal bloom.

• Figs (Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey') are ripening high above the Moorish garden in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Brilliant red coleus (Solenostemon scutellaroides 'Kingswood Torch') and yellow daisies (Argyranthemum frutescens 'Maggie') brighten the tiled Moorish Garden.

• Colorful coleus (Solenostemon scutellaroides 'Stained Glass) and impatiens (Impatiens walleriana 'Showstopper Series') decorate the beds beneath the camellia trees in the Linnean House.
