The peak season of spring color continues with flowering Dogwoods,
woodland wildflowers and Azaleas in full bloom throughout the grounds.
The English Woodland, Japanese, and Lopata Azalea/Rhododendron Gardens are
especially showy.
Though Tulips are past peak bloom, the bulb borders remain very
showy with many "minor" bulbs and shade-tolerant perennials.
The displays of Pansies combined with Tulips in the Milles
Sculpture Garden are outstanding.
Enjoy the peak of bloom in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Masses
of purple and white African daisies (Osteospermum sp.) accompany the
showy Bottlebrush tree (Callistemon accuminatus) and the Waxflower
tree (Chamelaucium ciliatum), both from Australia. Yellow Rose
standards (Rosa 'Sunsprite') in full glorious bloom decorate the tiled
Moorish fountain. Look on the rock wall beneath the grape arbor for
the dramatic yellow spikes of Verbascum arcturus from Crete.
Enjoy the intense fragrance of Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthemum) in
the Linnean House. The brilliant yellow flowers of the Canary Island
broom standards (Genista canariensis) impart a pleasant scent. The
Camellias are nearly finished, but a few beautiful blossoms remain.
Fairy primrose (Primula malacoides) and Cyclamen fill the house with
vibrant color.
