What’s in Bloom – June 13, 2023

What's In Bloom

In the upcoming days, iris, clematis, and foxgloves (Digitalis) will be genera of special interest for flower lovers. The deep pink weigela blooms around the bridge in the Pond Gardens are also especially eye-catching, and are buzzing with pollinators of all kinds, even hummingbirds! The enormous ‘Miss Kim’ Korean lilac in the Lerner Garden of the Five Senses is at the peak of its bloom, and it smells almost as striking as it looks.
