The peak of spring bloom is here with Azaleas, Redbuds and Dogwoods
blooming along with a great display of Daffodils, Tulips, and other
spring bulbs in many locations on the Grounds.
Bluebells and Celandine poppies are among the many perennials and
wildflowers blooming along with Dogwoods and Redbuds in the English
Woodland Garden. Dogwoods and Redbuds are especially showy this week.
Azaleas are at peak bloom in the Japanese Garden. Kwanzan cherries
are past peak, but still nice. The emerging foliage of the Japanese
maples is very ornamental.
Wood hyacinths carpet the ground in the Mausoleum Garden.
It's peak blooming time in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Yellow
Roses (Rosa `Sunsprite') and tall Snapdragons (Antirrhinum `Maryland
Appleblossom') weave together in the Moorish garden, filling the air
with their fragrance. Carnivorous Pitcher plants (Sarracenia sp.) are
displaying their unusual beautiful blossoms, and the Venus fly traps
(Dionaea muscipula) are growing and eating heartily.
The sweet fragrance of Jasmine permeates the air in the Linnean
House. The fragrant yellow blossoms of the Canary Island broom
(Genista canariensis) surround the fountain in the center.
Pansies in the Lois Whiteside Franklin Flower Trial Garden at the
Center for Home Gardening are becoming very showy.
Tulips and Pansies in the large beds in the Milles Sculpture Garden
make a showy combination.
