Check these out:
- Terrific ‘Torch’ azaleas: The brilliant blooms of ‘Torch’ azaleas (Rhododendron kaempferi & hybrids) are lighting up Icewell Terrace and the adjoining edges of Enchanted Woods and Oak Hill.
- Primroses: The candelabra primroses (Primula species) are brightening the path along the Winterhazel Walk and creating a stunning tapestry of red, pink, orange, and white in the Quarry Garden.
- Everywhere: But, listed only here:
- The airy white umbels of viburnums (mostly Viburnum dilatatum – linden viburnum & some Viburnum dentatum – arrowwood viburnum) are found throughout the Gardens and Estate this week.
- The yellow, green & orange flowers of tulip poplars (Liriodendron tulipifera) can be seen on the trees & also on the ground. Look up or down to see them.
- The tiny white-to-pale-pink daisies of fleabane (Erigeron annuus) are blooming throughout the Estate.
- The purple, lavender, and white flowers of Dame’s rocket (Hesperis matronalis) are present in lesser or greater abundance in the gardens and fields.
- White clover (Trifolium repens) in the fields and lawns is providing nectar and pollen for the pollinators and nitrogen for the soil.
