Annual bedding plants throughout the Garden are very showy. Particularly noteworthy are the beds in the Kresko Victorian, Milles Sculpture, and Swift Family Gardens.
Tropical water lilies are in full bloom in the Milles Sculpture and Swift Family Gardens. The exotic, fruity fragrance of the Victoria flowers perfume the evening garden.
Tardiva hydrangeas (Hydrangea paniculata 'Tardiva') are blooming in many locations on the grounds.
Roses in both the Gladney and Lehmann Rose Gardens are in full, seasonal bloom.
Fruits of the Tea viburnums (Viburnum setigerum) in the Jenkins Daylily Garden are very showy.
Butterflies are numerous on the many flowering plants in the Christopher Biraben Butterfly Meadow.
Figs are ripening high above the walled Moorish Garden in the Shoenberg Temperate House. Look for the showy purple fruit of the American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), and smell the fragrant jasmine (Jasminum tortuosum).
Impatiens are lush and colorful in the Linnean House. Flowering tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris `Only the Lonely') and flowering maple (Abutilon 'Moonchimes') decorate the fountain. Beautiful Belladonna lilies (Amaryllis belladonna) peak out of the far southeast window.
Cardinal flowers (Lobelia cardinalis) along the stream in the English Woodland Garden are in full bloom.
The Coleus, Zinnia, and Tropical Garden displays in the Kemper Center Gardens are very showy.
