Missouri Botanical Garden: Plants in Bloom

AT A GLANCE

July 11 - July 17, 2003

• Daylilies are in peak bloom in the Jenkins Daylily Garden.

• Sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) in the Japanese Garden are past peak bloom but still very showy.

• Late bottlebrush buckeyes (Aesculus parviflora var. serotina) are in full bloom in the Victorian Garden.

• Roses throughout the Garden are showy.

• Enjoy the rich aroma of gardenias (Gardenia augusta ‘Mystery’) in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Look for the beautiful blossoms of the caper vine (Capparis spinosa); the capers you eat are the flower buds of this plant.

• Impatiens (Impatiens walleriana ‘Dazzler Series’) brighten the beds beneath the camellia trees in the Linnean House.
