Mums are blooming in many locations throughout the Garden. The display in the
Pring Memorial Garden in Seiwa-En is outstanding.
Tropical water lilies are still flowering in the Milles Sculpture and Swift
Family Gardens.
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.
The carnivorous plant bog in the Shoenberg Temperate House is particularly
showy right now: the beautiful twisted spikes of the Ladies tresses orchids
(Spiranthes cernua var. odorata) complement the luminescent pitchers of
the carnivorous White trumpet (Sarracenia leucophylla). Among the Venus
flytraps (Dionaea muscipula), miniature blossoms grace the stems of the
Yellow-eyed grass (Xyris sp.).
Fragrant olive trees (Osmanthus fragrans) are filling the Linnean House
with their rich scent. The foliage of the Rex begonias is especially showy,
and powder-blue blossoms cascade from the Cape leadwort vine (Plumbago
auriculata). The hanging baskets feature fall blooming camellias
(Camellia sasanqua).
Eastern witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is beginning to bloom in
several locations on the grounds. Large specimens can be seen in the Jenkins
Daylily Garden.
Asters and grasses are showy in the Lucy and Stanley Lopata Prairie Garden.
Autumn leaves are just beginning to turn throughout the Garden, with peak color
yet to come.
