Daffodils are very showy in the bulb borders. Tulips are just beginning to bloom.
Magnolias are past peak bloom, but still very showy. Forsythia is in full bloom throughout the Garden.
Both native (Cercis canadensis) and Chinese (Cercis chinensis) redbuds are beginning to bloom. Some crabapples will be flowering by the week’s end.
Early Azaleas are blooming in the Rhododendron Garden.
Large drifts of Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa sardensis) carpet the ground in the Mausoleum Garden.
Camellias are past peak bloom in the Linnean House, but many are still quite showy. Fragrant Pink jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum) in the hanging baskets perfumes the air in this conservatory.
