Tall bearded iris in the Goodman Iris Garden and Peonies in the
Japanese Garden are at peak bloom
Climbing roses in the Gladney Rose Garden and Classic shrub roses in
the Lehmann Rose Garden are very showy. Quite a few Floribunda,
Hybrid tea, and Miniature roses in these gardens are beginning to
bloom.

perennials and wildflowers blooming in the English Woodland Garden.
Kousa dogwoods and some Fringetrees are still blooming in many
locations on the grounds.
It's peak blooming time in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Look for
the showy Lacecap hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla `Mariesii') and the
Crimson bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus). In the carnivorous bog,
Pitcher plants (Sarracenia spp.) are sending up new lush, tall
pitchers, and the Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are blooming and
eating heartily.
The sweet fragrance of Star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)
permeates the air in the Linnean House. The fragrant yellow blossoms
of the Canary Island broom (Genista canariensis) surround the fountain
in the center.
Climbing roses on the Overlook and fragrant Shrub roses in the
Fragrance Garden in the Kemper Center for Home Gardening are very showy.
You'll never see a finer display of Indian paintbrush (Castilleja
coccinea) than the planting in the Lucy and Stanley Lopata Prairie
Garden at the Kemper Center for Home Gardening.
